For a very good craft, the price you pay is bound to be more than if you bought one without thinking of its value. Carolina Skiffs are no exception, especially because of the effort and good-quality materials the manufacturers use to make these beautiful boats. 100% composite material- fiberglass, specifically- is what they use for the frame, resulting in a light, but more expensive vessel than if they were made of steel or wood. If you don't want to pay the price of a brand new boat, you can always refer to the parts earlier in this post where I list a few places through which you can purchase them second-hand. Most of them listed are in very good shape and have minimal wear.
