Bay boats also possess relatively low exterior freeboard to reduce windage, facilitate the use of bow-mount trolling motors, and enable anglers to lean over the side to more easily boat and release fish. To help make hybrid bay boats even safer when heading offshore, builders in recent years have, as mentioned, supersized them while also ramping up the power (sometimes with twin outboards) and fuel capacity, and lending models deep-V-like cutwaters and healthy bow flares. The versatile mix of more-open layouts within a bay-boat hull has given rise to a new category known as hybrid bay boats. [Extracted from the article] |
