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.

This type of vessel can vary in size, with the smallest current boat listed at 14 feet in length, to the longest vessel measuring in at 27 feet, and an average length of 19 feet. They are built and assembled by a wide variety of boat manufacturers with hull types including flat, modified vee, deep vee, tunnel and other designs. Boat Trader currently has 377 flats boats for sale, including 139 new vessels and 238 used boats, listed by both individual owners and professional boat dealers across the country.
