Cayo is a company known for making badass SUP boards and is possibly one of the best players in the SUP game right now. They’re badass enough to have a collaboration going on right now with Skinny Water Culture on a new SWC x CAYO board that’s coming out soon.
After perfecting the SUP, Cayo made some super secret plans to design a skiff and just recently began releasing information about the new Cayo 173 skiff.
From the Cayo 173 web page:
This is our flagship micro skiff for Cayo Boatworks. It was deigned to be the quietest, driest, fastest, and most easily poles micro skiff on the market. The hull has a ZERO hull slap design and the largest and deepest integrated spray rails in its class. The Cayo 173 comes standard with 3 huge integrated dry storage areas that can be rigged to you custom needs.
Specs:
LENGTH | 17′ 3″ |
---|---|
BEAM | 62″ |
WEIGHT | 400lbs |
CONSTRUCTION | Vacuum Infused Resin Technology (V.I.R.T.) |
DRAFT | 5″ |
SUGGESTED POWER | 20HP-50HP |
From the numbers and the intro- this sounds like it’s a super cool new skiff that’s going to hit the market pretty hard this summer. I wouldn’t be surprised if Cayo already had some of these on order! Anyone who is friends with SWC is cool in my book.
