Guide 20 Overview

The guide 20 was born from a perfect marriage between our Backwater 18 and Bonefish 22. This boat incorporates layout and fishability from both. It’s a 3-piece design like the Backwater but has a stand up console and leaning post configuration. A perfect skiff for bays and beach fishing, or a tournament platform for the serious inshore and tarpon anglers. If you’ve been looking for boats for sale near me?

The same high bow and sweeping shear found in our line of boats.

This design provides a smooth and dry ride when the seas pick up. A forward casting deck with ample storage allows for better sight fishing and fighting big fish from the bow. The aft deck is also large and home to a 35 gallon live well with access underneath to pumps and rigging. The Guide 20 is the perfect boat for light tackle inshore and near-shore fishing.
