Carolina Skiff DLV Series DLV 178 2011

2011 Carolina Skiff DLV 178 — Shallow-water Flats Boat, Clean & Ready to Fish

Lightweight, ultra-shallow draft flats skiff built for sight-fishing and in-shore cruising — dependable, low-maintenance, and turnkey.

This 2011 Carolina Skiff DLV 178 is a purpose-built flats boat that combines stability, shallow-water performance, and practical angler features in a compact, easy-trailering package. The boat’s low profile and shallow draft let you fish skinny water with confidence, while the wide, stable hull provides a planted feel when casting or poling. The forward casting deck and aft cockpit are thoughtfully laid out for a day of serious fishing — there’s room to land fish, store tackle, and keep a small crew comfortable.
Powered by a reliable four-stroke outboard (mounted on a motor bracket for easier trimming), this DLV 178 offers spirited performance with efficient fuel economy. The console includes a grab rail and an instrument pod that can accept a fishfinder/GPS, and hull storage compartments keep gear secure and organized. Standard angler amenities include rod holders, an anchor locker, a livewell (or bait well), and molded boarding steps. If you want a simple, fish-focused boat that’s easy to trailer, launch, and maintain — this 2011 DLV 178 is an excellent choice.
