Whats a Flats boat for?
Sorry for the dumb question, but we dont have stuff like that up here.
Not a dumb question at all. Extensive areas of shallow saltwater are called "flats." A deep flat is maybe three feet deep. A shallow flat is less than a foot. A good flats boat with a tunnel hull will run on plane in four to six inches over hand sand bottom. But the boat requires maybe eight inches to float if not running. This fact leads to arithmetic many first time flats boat owners may not be initially aware of, but soon learn!
