Consistent with her lines, the performance of the Bayshore Carolina Flats 20 is astounding. She`ll hold her own with any of those cookie-cutter `flats` boats in the smooth, skinny water, but when it chops up, she`s in a class by herself. There`s a reason the big Carolina boats evolved into this shape to get through those shallow inlets and out into the rough stuff. On the flats, she poles like an 18-footer, she`s quiet, tracks straight as an arrow, and is not at all wind-sensitive.
