The flat bottom V-RAT was born to run shallow sandy rivers with ease.
Every VRAT tiller-steer model comes standard with our Havoc Recessed Switch Panel. The switches are pre-wired for the Navigation Light controls and the Bilge Pump, and there are three open switches for aftermarket lighting or accessories. A standard 12V plug is also built in.
The VRAT line of hulls come standard with a lightweight perforated floor. This is a serious upgrade over the average ‘jon boat’ and allows for water to drain through. The perforated design also reduces overall weight, which improves speed and fuel efficiency.
Protect your paint from wear and tear, as well as add traction on all interior surfaces where you need it most. This heavy-duty liner is applied directly to the boat surface, underneath the paint for maximum adhesion and durability. This finishing touch is another standard feature to show that Havoc Boats goes the extra mile in every detail.
Semi-V Front | Flat Bottom | Tiller Steer
Our V-RAT models are made to perform with lighter duty set-ups and jet motors in the 40-60 HP range. The V-RAT has a semi-V front, a flat bottom, and a 22″ standard transom. This boat is built tough for navigating shallow sandy rivers, yet has a few design features to maintain light hull weight, such as lateral C-channel bracing and a perforated floor. Whether you’re targeting fish holding in the shallows or settling in for an afternoon on the sandbar with friends, the V-RAT is ready when you are.
