Flats boats
There is no other boat better for running on the flats than a dedicated flats boat, particularly as an angler wishing to catch fish that live in shallow coastal waters where these boats can often operate in less than two feet of water.
What are flats boats?
Flats boats are small, trailerable vessels generally used for on-the-water activities such as saltwater fishing. Vessels of this kind can differ in size, with the smallest current boat listed at 14 feet in length, to the longest vessel measuring in at 25 feet, and an average length of 19 feet. They are built and assembled by a wide variety of boat building companies with hull types including modified vee, flat, tunnel, deep vee and other designs. Boat Trader currently has 385 flats boats for sale, including 135 new vessels and 250 used boats, listed by both individual owners and professional boat and yacht dealers across the country.
What are the best flats boats?
Some of the most popular manufacturers of flats boats right now include: Hewes, Maverick, Sea Hunt, Carolina Skiff and Spyder.
