florida style flats skiffs come in many sizes & functions (technical poling, hybrid, live bait/big water boats) Generally, they have less hull slap than bay boats b/c of the reverse chines, but take more spray in a crosswind. I fish the gulf on smooth days in a flat.
look at mbcboats.com forum, hewes redfishers, maverick master anglers.
rangers are good solid boats but the models that ride good are a bit heavy, squat a little bad coming out of the hole even though the tank is in front......
I wanted a lake and bay 20-21 for a long time, good light hull with a good vee, but the drawback is it needs a lot of water to plane
