Flats boat reviews. This is a clean 1999 1760 Stealth flats boat powered by a fuel efficient and powerful 150 Mercury Optimax engine. When I pressed the throttle of the new DF90 the Boca Grande lunged forward stepping immediately to plane and zipping quickly to a top speed of nearly 43 mph. We stated the day in Tortilla Flat and then attended the Dollys Dinner Cruise.

Smoothest driest boat l have been in handles rough water easily crossing the bay. In aggressive turns the Boca held its course and the motor held its bite instead of dumping valuable speed that couldve plopped heavier boats and motors down in the sand of shallow cuts. Other than that crack it looked like a nice little boat for the money.

It is all boat owners greatest fear to run aground in shallow water or to be left in shallow water due to tide flow. I especially love the salt water marshes which are so vast here in South. This is truly a spectacular way to see the desert landscape without needing to hike or rock climb.

New and used models for sale. I attended with family and young teens and everyone enjoyed every minute. Flats boats are also designed with an extremely shallow draft so they can sneak along the shoals and sand bars where tailing fish may be present without running aground.

So well designed that you can fish in inches of water. Designed to float in less than a foot of water the Flats Fox 200 offers both a stable fishing platform and a comfortable ride. Cheraz Spozio Baranrecommends Flats Cat Boats.
