In this video, we compare my Hewes 18 redfisher to my friend jakes Sportsman 234 tournament bay boat. Overall bay boats and flats boats are pretty similar in design and appearance, so in this video I discuss the defining characteristics, the similarities, the differences, the best uses, cost considerations, and my overall advice if you are considering buying one of these types of boats.

I hope you find the video helpful in your search for your first or next boat! if you have any questions, feel free to leave them in the comments below and I will do my best to get to all of them!
