1995 Matlacha Magic 16 – The Ultimate Back-Country Specialist
Overview For sale is a classic 1995 Matlacha Magic 16, a true "micro-skiff" designed specifically for the shallow-water enthusiast. Built in the heart of Pine Island, Florida, these hulls are celebrated for their incredible draft, silent poling, and rugged simplicity. Paired with a reliable Yamaha 40HP, this boat is a surgical tool for the flats.
Key Specifications & Features
Draft: True to its name, this hull can float in 4–6 inches of water, letting you reach fish that others can't see.
Engine: Powered by a Yamaha 40HP outboard. This engine provides the perfect power-to-weight ratio for this hull—plenty of hole-shot for shallow starts while maintaining fuel efficiency.
Hull Design: A clean, flat-bottom design with a slight entry to handle light chop. The wide beam for its size provides surprising stability while walking the gunwales.
Deck Layout: Open and unobstructed. This is a "clean" boat with massive casting platforms fore and aft, perfect for fly fishing or sight casting without snagging lines.
The Matlacha Legacy
The Matlacha Magic 16 is a cult classic for a reason. Unlike modern, heavy fiberglass boats, this skiff is light enough to be poled all day without fatigue. It’s a "hardcore" skiff—ideal for the angler who values stealth and access over bells and whistles.
Condition Highlights
Minimalist Setup: Easy to maintain, easy to wash down, and easy to trailer with almost any vehicle.
*PRICE INCLUDES $3000 FINANCE REBATE*
