A center console boat is an open hull watercraft where the helm is located in the center of the boat. Some of the benefits of a center console boat is easy access to the bow, stern and sides of the boat. Center console boats are typically considered offshore boats. All of our center console boats are powered by outboard motors.

A bay boat was developed to cover the gap between a flats boat and center console boats. A bay boat is a phenomenal craft for reaching shallow and medium depth waters. Bay boats are great family or fishing boats that can easily be pushed with a push-pole yet can take light surf.
