Skimmer Skiffs Llc has one recall on record with the Coast Guard, issued in October 2022 for a flotation test deficiency on a single 14 foot Rolled Deck Tiller model. The limited scope and single unit affected suggest this was an isolated compliance issue rather than a systemic manufacturing problem. Any used buyer should still verify that flotation meets CFR standards and that the recall remedy was completed if the boat falls within the affected serial range.

Frequently asked questions
How many Skimmer Skiffs boats have been recalled?

Should I worry about buying a used Skimmer Skiffs boat?
The single unit recall suggests an isolated issue rather than widespread quality problems. Verify your prospective boat is not the affected unit and have a surveyor confirm flotation compliance as part of normal prepurchase diligence.
