Flats Boats

Flat boats or Flats are shallow-water boats that are usually used for fishing and scouting. The design of the flat boat is specifically made to handle shallow water; it has a flat bottom and no keel, so it can move easily through the shallow waters. The poling skiff is another type of shallow-water boat that was once common in Florida and elsewhere along the Gulf Coast. It's similar to the flats skiff but with a slightly different shape.
