Skunk Marine 550

The Motor Program

Sixty to five-fifty.
Black cowl, one stripe.

We don't pretend to cast powerheads — we partner for them. The Skunk Marine cowling program pairs proven American-assembled outboards with our livery and our registry. The 550 wears gold intake vents because it earned them — and yes, the Offshore runs them in twins.

To Every American Boat Shop Reading This

We're looking for
the holes you can fill.

Hull welders. Motor partners. Trailer shops. Upholstery benches. If you cut, weld, rig, or stitch on American soil, there is a Skunk Marine contract with your shop's name on it. Your weld, our livery, both our names on the badge.

Hulls

All-welded aluminum first; fiberglass next.

Rigging & motors

Branded cowling + rigging partners.

100% American

Every contract. Every weld. Non-negotiable.

Skunk Boats hull badge

The Hull Registry

Brass, riveted,
numbered forever.

Every hull leaves the shop with its brass badge and its line in the Mint Registry — same ledger as the figures and the coins. You're not buying aluminum; you're buying citizenship with a motor on it.

Deposits are fully refundable holds, not purchases of a vessel. Production begins when an American builder is signed for each class. No vessel specifications are final.
