Flatbacks like that one make a great flats boat as they run crazy shallow and float shallow too. If its an original boat plan on alot of  work though. Any 46yr old boat is gonna need work but take it from a flatback owner I love mine and it was well worth the time, money and effort. I paid $2500 for my project boat with a blown motor and original trailer, Flatbacks are getting harder and harder to find.

The above article that Rick posted and CB retrieved is a treasure trove of information regarding the 22-2 flatback specifically and Aquasports in general.

Design, construction, recommended power, top speed, fuel economy (amazing), draft, self-bailing ability (and lack thereof) is discussed, plus more.

The author stated that it was the best fishing boat he had ever tested.

It is a shipmate "must read." Enjoy.
