This is probably the most updated, cleanest and customized Waterman 16 in existence. This boat was fully refit by the Skiff Shop in 2021. No expense was spared in custom rigging and fiberglass work to bring it to the exact spec of the owner. It has been meticulously serviced, maintained and preserved by the owner since completing the refit. It has been used mostly in ENP and Key Largo.
