Journey Will Take Men from North Carolina to Bermuda Before Reaching New York Harbor on Sunday, May 6th About 7 years ago, Ralph Brown began an earnest approach to boat building centered on the concept of building a boat that could cruise the shallow waters of Florida's Gulf coastal areas, as well as handle the rough blue water seas to reach the middle Gulf fishing grounds. Since the beginning of Dream Boats, Inc. Brown has been passionate about his boat designs, so passionate that he's attempting to prove that his latest boat, the Intruder 21, is the World's most seaworthy flats boat. Thus comes his daredevil publicity stunt: to take his 21-foot flats boat on a 1,400-mile oceanic voyage. A flats boat by definition is an open fishing boat that can operate with the engine down in less than a foot of water. This particular flats boat, the Intruder 21, can operate in less than 6 inches and still handle a rough chop. This combination is un-heard of in the boating industry, making it an excellent boat for families who need shallow water operation, as well as fisherman, police and the military.
