In this boat, we deviate from our usual plywood frames. the frames are made of plain 1x3 boards. required skills: the xf20 is one of the easiest boats to build. the plans include all dimensions to cut all the hull parts flat on the shop floor. options:. It's been about a year since i picked up this xf20 boat project. here's a little recap of photos from the build so far.... This new design is the best possible no-compromise extreme flats boat. features like the light weight, quiet hull and low freeboard for reduced windage are common to many flats boats but here we have a hull that can be built with a small budget and perform better than most carbon fiber machines costing 30k..
Bad azz boat for the upper west coast of fl. the picture shown on the xf20 page where you order plans is steve in spring hill the billy boat was mentioned built up in the crystal river area. capt'n billy used to build his guide boats from wood and sell when he had his next generation ready. they sold quickly.. The phantom 16, and the extreme flats 20 have pocket tunnels. chris ostlind also designed a pocket tunnel i saw on duckworks (blackwater 16) which is a scaled down version of capt. henderson's flats boat. you might want to consider sponsons to maintain minimum draft. they really work well on my flat bottom jet boat.. Absolutely indestructable, the extreme flats 20 floats in 2 1/2 inches of water and runs in 4 inches with two people and gear.a 35hp outbaord will push the boat over 30. a 45 hp with jack plate is ideal. expect speeds well over 40. her dimensions are: 21 feet long with an 8 foot beam. the boat shown is the kss model, as simple as they come..
