Maverick skiffs are made of advanced composite materials, including fiberglass, Kevlar, and carbon fiber. Maverick uses these high-tech materials, along with a resin-infusion building process, to make a hull that is both very light and very strong. Light weight matters on a poling skiff because it helps the boat float shallow and pole easily, while the strength keeps it tough enough for years of hard saltwater fishing. There is no structural wood in a modern Maverick, which means less worry about rot over time. These premium materials are part of why a Maverick costs more than a basic skiff.
