What is an "XPC 16"? | Walk-Thru with Aqua Autos

Meet the XPC — Crossover Planing Craft — a modern 16′ 4″ composite skiff engineered by Nuwave Composites to bridge the gap between a flat-back canoe and a full technical skiff. In this video, Chris from Aqua Autos walks us through all of the notable features that make the XPC versatile, durable, and ready for adventure.

The XPC is built for those who want more capability than a canoe without the bulk, storage requirements, or cost of a traditional skiff. At 16′ 4″ long and 4′ 10″ wide, this lightweight craft delivers stability and confidence in a compact footprint. Its 10° deadrise and 6″ draft balance shallow water access with a smooth ride — ideal for flats fishing, creek exploring, and everyday cruising.

Weighing just 400 lbs bare, the XPC is light enough to launch solo yet rugged enough to take a beating. With motor and trailer, the full package fits inside a standard garage, eliminating the need for boatyard storage or monthly fees.

Built with advanced composite construction, the XPC rivals premium high-end builds — minus the premium price tag. It’s simple, durable, efficient, and ready to go where others can’t.

It’s not just a skiff. It’s the perfect in-between.
It’s an XPC.
