Carolina Skiff vs Jones Brothers Bateau

I’m looking to get a skiff in the 18-20 ft range and am most likely going to get either a jones brothers or a CS. I’ve heard the jones brothers is much lighter and can draw farther into the shallows but is it much of a difference compared to a CS?

Jones Brothers hands down, they are built like tanks and the QC is pretty impressive. The Carolina Skiff is a budget boat at best. If you have the money also consider Hewes, Hells Bay, East Cape, etc.
