Flat Bottom

Just as the name infers, this design incorporates a flat, very smooth running surface that’s ideal for navigating very shallow water. Flat bottom designs are still widely accepted because of their stability, shallow running capabilities, and optimal tracking characteristics for trolling, backtrolling, free-drifting, and anchoring. Best used in applications with minimal chop because of the characteristic “hard ride” associated with flat bottom designs.
