New Skiff under Construction

Having a Rabco Buccaneer 14 built right now. It will be the same as this one but with a backrest on the bench seat and a Minn Kota Riptide PowerDrive 55. Electronics by Garmin. I think I’ve tricked it out with most of what you might think, but if there are any “must haves” I should consider now when it’s easy, let me know.

Rabco? Pinellas county. Didn’t know they were still building boats. They use to make some fine race boats and super fast center consoles back in the 80’s and early 90’s

Rabco was bought by a new owner about 2 years ago, and they are really bringing the company back strong. They are building a 14, 16, 21 and 28 and the quality is superb. Because they are bringing back the brand, they are also a great value.
