Bay boats have a low profile. They are designed for use in shallow waters of large shallow bays, estuaries or near shore. Bay boats are 18'â24' in length and are fiberglass because they are used in salt or brackish waters. They have more freeboard than a flats boat.
Even if you keep the shallow water boat on plane, your first instinct may be to slow down. But sometimes, it pays off to go faster. Take a look at how a bass boat flies on plane. At high speeds itâs running on nothing but a small delta pad and almost the entire drive is out of the water â everything but the prop.
