2026 Spyder FX17 Flicker

The 2026 Spyder FX17 Flicker is a 17-foot flats skiff built for shallow-water fishing, powered by a Suzuki 90HP outboard. Finished in Jet Black with matching trim and powder coat, the boat combines practical fishing capability with clean modern styling. The all-composite, no-wood hull construction features an advanced fiberglass stringer system and a yacht-finished diamond non-skid deck, designed to handle demanding water conditions while keeping weight at 890 lbs.

The layout centers on fishing functionality: a forward casting deck with molded toe rail, poling platform, and rod holders both under the gunwale and on the console. Two aerated livewells—one in the center console and one in the rear—keep bait fresh. The front seat has an insulated well and removable cushion backrest, with cup holders and handrail for comfort. Console features include hydraulic steering with tilt adjustment, LED-illuminated rocker switches, and a stainless steel wheel.

Navigation and electronics are handled by Garmin GPS and digital Suzuki gauges displayed on the console. Trim tabs with LED-illuminated controls and a jack plate optimize shallow-draft performance, while a trolling motor harness and plug support electric propulsion. Underwater lighting adds visibility in low-light conditions, and a waterproof stereo system provides entertainment. The windshield, trumpet horn with stainless grill, and LED navigation lights round out the day-boat essentials.

Standard equipment includes stainless steel cleats, rub rail, thru-hulls, and propeller. LED lighting runs throughout—rocker switches, navigation lights, livewell, interior, and removable bow light. An automated bilge, fuel/water separator, and battery switch with power panel manage onboard systems. The boat comes with a 10-year limited hull warranty. An aluminum Magic Tilt custom trailer is available for transport.
