The flats skiff is a 2015 Hell's Bay, 17.8 Professional. It was built custom, and color matched to the Aquila 48. It is powered by a 2015, F70 four stroke Yamaha outboard with a four blade Powertech
stainless prop. The motor has 504.4 hours on it. The motor is mounted on a Bob's Machine Shop flats jack, hydraulic jack plate. The skiff was built with the tender tow option and a reinforced tow point under the bow of the skiff. There is also a a custom tow harness for towing the skiff if preferred. Custom tow points were also added to the stern of the Aquila 48.
The skiff comes with a 21' graphite push pole which is stored in a sunbrella protective sleeve along the starboard side rail of the 48 Aquila when it is not in use. The skiff has a removable custom casting platform on the bow with a pop-up seat and backrest. Also the original smaller HB casting platform comes with the boat as an option. The skiff also comes equipped with a 24 volt, 80 lb thrust Minn Kota Riptide Terrova trolling motor, two Optima blue top batteries and an onboard Powermania Turbo, waterproof battery charger.
The TM has a storage bracket mounted on the starboard davit post where the trolling motor can be stored vertically out of the way when not needed on the skiff. The skiff also has a trailer for storage and transport along with other items used on the 48'

The two kayaks were purchased in August of 2017. They are tandem kayaks manufactured by Ocean Kayak. The model of the kayaks is Malibu Two. They each come with a set of comfort plus seat backs and a pair of carbon fiber kayak paddles. There is a removable kayak rack for each kayak on each side of the bridge deck. The kayaks hang on the outside of the rails on each side of the bridge out of the way and high enough above the walkways on the main deck to be unobtrusive. The paddles are stored on the racks under each kayak. There is a storage and a transport dolly that comes with the kayaks.
