Fluctuating river channels and shallow water marshes are no match for the River Rat flat-bottom hull with the added performance of a step transom.
Our patent-pending I-Beam ribs are a crucial piece of the foundation of this boat. This innovative design creates exceptional strength and virtually eliminates flex in rough water. I-Beam rib technology is one of many reasons we confidently stand behind our products, because they continue to pass every test.
The console is decked out with tachometer, fuel gauge, and a Hummingbird® PiranhaMax™ 4 console. We topped it off with a tinted windshield for extra protection from glare off the water.
An aerated aluminum livewell comes standard on the FRRSCST. The livewell is built into the back deck for easy access, even when your are fishing by yourself.
Flat Front | Side Console | Step Transom
Our industry-leading line of River Rat flat bottom hulls now includes this Side-Console model with Step Transom design. The step transom delivers additional flotation and makes it more convenient to get in and out of the boat when wading. This boat is built to go into those hard to reach areas and shallow rock-bottom rivers we all love to hunt, fish, and play on. The aluminum console with tinted windshield makes for a safe and comfortable driving experience and comes complete with tachometer, fuel gauges, and electrical switch panel – then we complete the setup with a Hummingbird® PiranhaMax™ 4 console unit as an included standard feature. The FRRSCST is designed with a flat nose and flat bottom with rounded chine hull that is great for both jet motor and prop motor use. The heavy-duty build includes our I-Beam Longitudinal Ribs and diamond-plate aluminum floor to handle hard-bottom environments and support larger motor sizes.
A few other key features come standard, including a built-in 19 gallon fuel tank, 55-lb Minn Kota® trolling motor, aerated livewell, and a rod storage box (on 18′ models).
