2026 Avid 21 Recon

The 21 Recon is a modern aluminum flats boat built around a tunnel hull design engineered for shallow-water performance. Powered by a single 115-horsepower Yamaha engine, it combines efficient power delivery with the ability to access and fish skinny water where conventional hulls cannot operate. The boat measures 21 feet 1 inch in length with an 8-foot 2-inch beam, providing a stable platform for day trips and extended fishing.

The layout prioritizes practicality and ease of use. Standard equipment includes a Garmin ECHOMAP 7 fish finder with transducer for navigation and sonar, a boarding ladder for convenient water access, and integrated storage throughout. The interior features smoke upholstery complemented by a Sea Foam accent stripe, creating a purposeful aesthetic suited to both serious anglers and casual weekend boaters.

The tunnel hull construction delivers the boat's primary advantage: the ability to run in extremely shallow conditions while maintaining stability and control. The design makes the Recon equally at home pursuing redfish on flats, exploring unfamiliar water, or operating as a general-purpose fishing platform.
