The Mackinaw is the Exhumer with the largest ore hold, though it lacks in tank when compared to the Skiff. The Mackinaw will be a target in every type of space in EVE, making the Skiff the recommended Exhumer to use to avoid being a target for ganks.

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 Mackinaw's being storage. Although it only has space to fit two mining or ice harvesting modules, a fast loading system allows them to do the work of three modules.

Exhumers are equipped with electronic subsystems specifically designed to accommodate Strip Mining and Ice Harvesting modules.

Basically a less tanky skiff. You only really gain a larger ore hold in this.
