While deeper-draft aluminum and fiberglass boats stay in the main channel, lightweight HDPE hulls slide into water so shallow that anglers question whether the boat will float. Eight inches. For some anglers, that’s where real opportunity begins. Lightweight HDPE construction opens access to water […]
Deflection, Flex, and Lightweight Design: What to Expect in HDPE Jon Boats

What Deflection Is and Why Lightweight Boats Flex Hull deflection is the amount a hull deforms or flexes under load or when encountering water movement. The question is how much flex occurs and whether it is engineered or accidental. In lightweight boats, flex is intentional. Rather than […]
