COMMENTS: SKIPJACK has only had two owners since new in 1976. She was not in the water in 2022. The 22' Tripp Angler was designed to provide the best possible boat for moderate offshore fishing -  a quality boat which could be handled and fished by one person. She handles well in a short chop. The boat is also great in a following sea due to her curved transom, and her keel keeps her straight and true. Please come and inspect this "Classic" flush-deck Bass boat. Thank you for your interest.
