Flats Boats vs Bay Boats - Which is right for you?
Рет қаралды 2,801
Күн бұрынIn this video, we compare my Hewes 18 redfisher to my friend jakes Sportsman 234 tournament bay boat. Overall bay boats and flats boats are pretty similar in design and appearance, so in this video I discuss the defining characteristics, the similarities, the differences, the best uses, cost considerations, and my overall advice if you are considering buying one of these types of boats.
I hope you find the video helpful in your search for your first or next boat! if you have any questions, feel free to leave them in the comments below and I will do my best to get to all of them!

Very nice well put together video. I have a Hewes RF16 myself and I love it.

Thanks! The 16 redfisher is a great boat, especially if trying to store your boat in the garage.

There’s also the hybrids out there. My release backcountry has a 18 deadrise and it’s a flats boat.

This is an excellent video that is very thorough and well produced. I'm on the fence between a bay boat or skiff. It's going to be a Hewes Redfisher 18 for me. I have the off shore covered with my Sailfish 2360. I watched your other video comparison of TPS vs Skiff. Impressive and well done, Thanks.
