Description

2017 Beavertail Lightning 20 – The Perfect Blend of Speed and Stealth

If you know Beavertail, you know the Lightning 20 was built for the angler who refuses to choose between a technical poling skiff and a high-performance bay boat. It’s one of the few hulls on the market that can comfortably cross a choppy bay at nearly 60 mph and then silently pole into a foot of water to hunt tailing reds.

The Power Plant

This rig is paired with an Evinrude 150hp E-Tec H.O. with 375 original hours. The "High Output" (H.O.) model is famous for its low-end torque, giving you an incredible hole shot when you need to get up on plane in the skinny stuff. It’s been lightly used, well-maintained, and is ready for the upcoming season.

Performance & Efficiency

The stepped hull design on the Lightning 20 isn't just for show—it’s about precision engineering. Whether you are running to the grounds or heading home, this boat performs:

~ Top Speed: 58 mph

~ Cruise Speed: 30 mph

~ Fuel Burn: An impressive 7 gallons per hour at cruise.

Hull & Ride Quality

~ The Signature "Carolina Flare": Unlike most skiffs that leave you soaked in a crosswind, the Lightning’s bow flare keeps the ride remarkably dry.

~ Carbon/Kevlar Construction: Vacuum-infused with premium resins, the hull is incredibly stiff and lightweight. It doesn't "slap" when you're poling; it stays quiet.

~ Stepped Hull Efficiency: Reduces drag, providing better fuel economy and higher top-end speed without needing a massive 300HP engine.

~ Self-Bailing Design: Peace of mind is built-in with a self-bailing hull and every hatch is deep-guttered, gasketed, and plumbed to drain to keep your gear bone-dry.

Layout & Fishability

~ 360° Fishing Platform: Oversized gunnels are wide and stable, allowing you to walk the entire perimeter while fighting a fish.

~ Livewell & Storage: Features a massive 35-gallon insulated oval livewell to keep bait lively, plus two aft 26-gallon release wells that double as 120-quart coolers.

~ Trolling Power: Equipped with a Minn Kota Riptide trolling motor to navigate the flats with ease.

~ Rod Protection: Under-gunnel racks with fly tubes keep your high-end setups (up to 10’) protected.

~ Seating: Features a comfortable bench seat with a backrest behind the console and a forward-facing jump seat.

Electronics & Hardware

~ Navigation: Fully rigged with Simrad Electronics and equipped with integrated Nav and Anchor lights.

~ Skinny Water Essentials: An Atlas Jack Plate and Lenco Trim Tabs give you total control over your draft and ride attitude.

~ Reliability: High-capacity bilge pump and a clean, organized rigging system.
