Flat Bottom - Flat bottom boats are typically small open boats such as john-boats. Flat bottomed boats can easily get "on plane" or ride on top of the water at high speeds. Flat bottom boats are typically intended for use on calm waters such as ponds, small lakes, and slow rivers because they do not handle well in choppy or rough water, especially at planing speeds. Flat bottomed boats are not very stable, caution should be used when moving about.
