Friend showed me this, radical hull design I've never seen before. Created by an aerospace engineer.

Post the pics in the OP.

And this is probably more outdoor board oriented.

I can't see how that rides well in any kind of rough water. Maybe I'm wrong there.

It's a very cool concept.

Our 24 would be eating those waves like nothing. Cool concept though

All that mud mixed with the water that outboard was shooting out the back can't be good for water pumps.

Why is the rub rail metal? Defeats the purpose

Looks like a paddle boat with a motor. Water would have to be like glass for that ride to be tolerable.

It'll ride much better than a flat boat, and you can do a lot with a flat boat.

It's not a boat made to run in big open water obviously, it's to get into really shallow flats. If you were worried about open, rough water why would you be getting a flats boat anyway?

I thought the purpose is to protect your gel coat, which it would do

Cool Design, but if I was to go shallow I would get a Haynie Cat with a 250 Yamaha

Looks great..

Some redneck will try and take it out 20 miles offshore when 1' seas are forecasted.

Agree, it would serve its intended purpose, but it would look like hell after a few bumps. I like the boat though overall.

Nice boat but I'll take my Go Devil any day over a plastic boat. Its far more suitable for our waters.

I've got my flats boat for sale, because I'm having a kid. I will save up for a few years and look hard at the Haynie Z21. I want a little bigger boat with the capability to take the family out for a speck trip. Low sides on some of these flat boats make it difficult to take out a kid.
