The lightest skiff Harry has ever built.

length
17'
beam
55"
weight
Under 200 lbs
draft
6"

Under 200 pounds and a 55-inch beam. The Jireh is what happens when a man with forty-seven years of building behind him stops adding and starts removing. It is a one-person, one-pole, one-fish boat, and it goes places nothing else will follow.

Best for

Solo anglers, extreme skinny water, minimal horsepower, run-and-pole days where every pound matters.

Interested in a Jireh 17'?

Every build starts with a conversation about the water you fish. Harry will tell you honestly if a different hull is the better answer, or if he is not the right builder for you at all.

Text him first if you can. He answers his own phone, but a text means he knows the call is worth picking up.
