The exhumer is the second generation of mining vessels created by ORE. Exhumers, like their mining barge cousins, were each created to excel at a specific function, the Skiff's being durability and self-defense. Advanced shielding and drone control systems make the Skiff the toughest mining ship in the cluster.
Exhumers are equipped with electronic subsystems specifically designed to accommodate Strip Mining and Ice Harvesting modules.

Summary
The Skiff is the toughest of the Exhumers without any modules, and becomes as tough if not tougher than many battleships when fully fitted and skilled. However, the skiff sacrifices yield and some ore hold capacity to do this. Therefore, the skiff should be used when under the threat of being ganked or when having to operate under heavy NPC fire. When fitted out correctly, it is impossible to make a profit from suicide ganking a skiff, which should deter all but the most determined people from attacking you in high sec.
