1998 Holby Bristol 175m

The Holby Bristol Skiff 17 is lapstraked and trimmed in mahogany. With deep, twin skegs and widely flared hull, this classic design has excellent stability and maneuverability. The raised bow keeps passengers dry in chop and spray. Ample seating and a large open work area make this the perfect boat for fishing, tending pots, or taking the family for an island picnic. Three large storage lockers are standard. An optional center console is available with a 15-inch destroyer wheel, which makes this skiff perfect for serving as the club launch or work boat for marine tradesmen. Holby skiffs are built using the SCRIMP process, providing the highest quality composite construction in the industry. Each hull is vacuum bagged and infused with resin, ensuring that each boat is built with the highest resin-to-glass ratio in an environmentally safe manner. All hull laminates are designed for optimum strength and weight. A beautiful finish is provided by an ISO-NPG gelcoat, specifically formulated for the rigors of the marine environment. Each seat compartment is filled to capacity with positive foam flotation, and satisfies USCG flotation standards. Each skiff is backed by a full two-year factory warranty for years of enjoyment. The Bristol Skiff is available with pre-rigged Mercury engines. The Mercury 4 stroke and Opti Max engines meet 2006 EPA requirements. Twenty five years ago Mercury had a problem with salt water corrosion with the aluminum in their engines, and this hurt their reputation as a quality engine. Since then they now smelt their own aluminum. They use an aluminum-silicon alloy that has a low copper content- which means less corrosion.
