NEED INSPIRES INNOVATION
Shallow Sport Boats was born in 1982 from a demand to
get fishermen in and out of the vast shallow backwaters
of Texas Coastal bays. The solution... An original handcrafted
Quadrahedral Double Tunnel design that delivers
a smooth and dry ride across choppy open bays while
maintaining stability and extreme shallow water performance.
Our unrivaled tunnel system fully encases your
prop with plenty of non-aerated water facilitating shallow
turns and uncompromised hole shot. This design is specifically
engineered to cause minimal impact to our sensitive
ecosystems.

CLASSIC
The Legend Continues
The foundation of Shallow Sport Boats is built on our original and
proven Quadrahedral Double Tunnel Design. For over 35 years,
the original Texas Scooter has ruled the bay with a hull design
that safely lifts the boat up and over waves creating the most
comfortable ride of any ultra shallow skiff. The flush deck provides
easy access for netting fish and wading, and the recessed transom
helps to suspend the outboard motor in the “hole-shot” resulting in
unmatched shallow water performance. If your mission is shallow,
light weight, and easy to maintain, this is the boat for you!

SPORT
The pro’s choice

Design as the Classic with added 12” gunwales. The Sport line up
is a long time fishing guide favorite and the sides still accommodate
wade fisherman and easy netting and releasing of big fish.
Your’s will track straight and true allowing you and your team to
stalk your targeted areas. The 18’ Sport, 21’ Sport, or even the
24’ Sport easily runs across the shallowest of flats, yet comfortably
handles 2’ to 3’ chop. Visit our website and build one today!

ENVY MOD V
THE CROSSOVER
The newly re-designed Mod V features a smooth running Modified
Deep V hull that converts to a tunnel at mid-ship. The reverse
chines at the bow, eliminate the unwanted side spray of conventional
V hulls while channeling the water up and under the boat
to maximize lift. The Mod V has higher sides and is the perfect
crossover boat for your whole family to enjoy in deeper open
waters , yet still capable of unrivaled shallow water performance
for a V hull.

THE GAME CHANGER
Strong yet lightweight, the 25’ X3 has proven itself as one of the
most stable and versatile inshore/offshore fishing boats in the industry
today. It’s distinctive multi-hull design eats heavy chop yet
is extremely maneuverable in shallow water. The oversized center
tunnel and aggressive strakes leading under the hull generates
incredible lift allowing it to run on plane in only 5” of water! The
X3 never fails to amaze... you just have to see it to believe.
