Found a bunch of 19" reds and some dink trout. My son managed a big red that pushed past 29 1/2" like a
Also saw the ending of a bad day

I'm guess some sort of hull issues. It was listing hard to one side and imo if the plug had been left out, why not plug it and see if the pumps would drain it? Just my swag'

On my FlatsCat that Blackfinturkeyslayer now owns, it had 4 total brass screw in plugs. Two bottom ones directly into the hull, and two top for the back boxes. To my knowledge FlatsCats do not have bilge pumps or the option to add one. In order to access the hull you would have to pull the deck off.
Would like to know the story on it though. Hopefully the occupants are ok and not missing.

Originally posted by Capt Glenn View PostI can tell you on the older Flats Cats some of them cracked down the tunnel and that is the result you'd see. A good friend of mine has one, probably about a 94 model, and that happened to it. He made it back to the ramp but his hull filled up with water. Boat was totaled by insurance. He bought it back from his insurance company and had the hull rebuilt by Bill Allison and they added at least one additional cross member which is how the newer ones are built.
Correct! Mine was a 2002, which from my research was after they had the hull issue. Plus in 2018 or so when I bought it, I figured it would have already cracked if it was going to!
