2023 Riptide 17 Flats

The 2023 Riptide 17 Flats is a single-engine flats boat built on a fiberglass hull, measuring 17 feet long with a 6.5-foot beam. Powered by a 50-horsepower Yamaha engine with minimal use, the boat delivers responsive handling and efficient performance across shallow waters. Its shallow draft and compact dimensions make it well-suited for accessing confined channels, sandbars, and skinny flats that larger vessels cannot navigate.

The open deck layout provides ample space for casting, movement, and socializing, making the boat equally practical for fishing and recreational cruising. The hull design emphasizes stability and a smooth ride, while the lightweight fiberglass construction keeps the boat manageable for trailering and launching. The engine has only 12 hours of run time.

Built to handle saltwater environments, the Riptide 17 Flats combines durability with ease of operation. Its size and weight make docking straightforward and allow close approach to shore. The boat is simple to maintain and designed for reliable performance across varied conditions and uses.
