Those are great boats. I like Dolphin and Hells Bay too. Action Craft is nice and a little cheaper.

hey cfly thanks , i looked into beavertail they are rilly nice. but i dont think they have the comfert of somthing like a hews redfisher18' or 21

what do you think?

The 18 Hewes is a boat that still poles well the 21 is a big boat, unless your doing trolling motors I would say he 21 is more like a bayboat-comfy
yes unless your the guy on the poling platform, Beavertails ride like a hellsbay- I think they are built off there molds have you looked the Action craft 18

I've owned 6 different flats boat over the last 18 years, I've jsut really like the 1720 action craft it's wider then the 18 runs skiiny with a jack plate a must!!!! poles pretty good but also handles chop well.
Drop me a PM at eric@coastalflyangler.com I'll shoot by some photos and other.

You should look into an ECC Lostmen 18 - plenty of storage, stable and shallow draft. They build a great boat for a fair price - I own one. You can check them out at eastcapecanoes.com
