Ankona COPPERHEAD 159

2014 ANKONA COPPERHEAD 159, PRICE INCLUDES $3000 FINANCE REBATE

Overview & Performance
The 159 is a technical poling skiff built for efficiency. With a narrow beam and a lightweight hull, it’s incredibly easy to push-pole across a flat, even against a breeze.

Draft: True to its reputation, it can float in 5–7 inches of water (depending on load), allowing you to reach fish that larger boats simply can't.

Ride: While it's a flat-bottomed skiff designed for calm water, the entry is sharp enough to handle a light chop better than most boats in its class.

Hull Design: The "Shadow" series is famous for being stealthy; the hull is designed to minimize "slap" from small waves, so you don't spook the fish before you get within casting range.

Key Features
Clean Deck Layout: The 159 focuses on an open, snag-free casting deck—perfect for fly fishermen or light tackle anglers.

Storage: Typically features under-gunwale rod storage and a forward storage locker for anchors and safety gear.

Construction: Ankona uses a wood-free, composite construction, meaning you don't have to worry about rot in a 2014 model.

The "Why Buy" Factor
In 2014, Ankona was hitting its stride in the "micro-skiff" market. Buying a used 159 today gives you a professional-grade fishing platform that is:

Garage-friendly: Its 15' 9" length fits in almost any standard garage on its trailer.

Fuel Efficient: Often paired with a 20hp to 30hp outboard, you can fish all day on a few gallons of gas.

Easy to Launch: At a dry hull weight of roughly 350–400 lbs, it’s light enough to be launched at "unimproved" ramps or even off the side of a road.
