The foam-filled stringer system is one of the reasons why Shallow Sports, built since 1983, are still in use today. The beefy, over built stringer is glassed to the hull, then foam-filled for unsinkable flotation and unquestionable strength. The one-piece molded liner deck is then bonded to the Stringer & Hull, making a super rigid boat, built to last. If you should forget to put your plugs in at the ramp, rest assured that the foam is completely encapsulated in the glass stringer to keep the foam from soaking up water.

The quadrihedral hull, designed by legendary boat builder Willis Hudson is engineered to put water to work under the boat instead of in your face – literally. Most conventional V-hull boats displace water outward, resulting in deeper draft, less stability and flotation, and wet ride. The quadrihedral hull is a series of V’s on a more stable flat style hull. The V intries break up chop much better than a completely flat bottom hull and force water to the center and up into the tunnel where the water is fed to your outboard engine. The result is a comfortable riding, dry boat that will easily cruise in as little as 6” of water and can maneuver out of as little as 3” should you get lost in the back country.

Shallow Sport revolutionized the shallow water boating industry with its tunnel boats in 1983. They perform in the skinny back country like no other boat on the market. The full length tunnel provides enough non-aerated water to the motor to keep it from overheating. Hydraulic lifts raise the prop and lower unit of the motor up into the tunnel allowing the boat to propel its way forward in as little as 3” of water. With the proper operation, Shallow Sport boats are also “sea grass safe” meaning you won’t be digging ditches everywhere you run like in a conventional non-tunnel skiff.
