The Atlas Boatworks 23F: Simple by Design

The Atlas Boatworks 23F is a clean, classic-looking, 23′ bay boat with an intentionally simple layout. Higher gunnels are an aesthetic nod to a bygone era and keep you, kids, guests, or clients comfortably in the boat. A 10” draft rivals most flats or bay boats and gets you to the fish. With this center console bay boat outfitted specifically for you, you get to choose what is important and skip what is not.

Classic Design | Modern Performance

While the style speaks to a previous time, the technology does not. Entirely composite construction, trim tabs, Porta-Bracket, Power Poles, vinyl-ester resins, GPS-enabled trolling motors, the latest fishfinders, and your choice of up to a 200hp engine ensure that you are anywhere but the past.

Unapologetically Uncomplicated

 A maximum of 5 hatches, self-bailing deck, removable coolers, unfettered access to all systems, and a book that tells you everything you’ll ever need to know about your boat. Nothing to shine or polish. Spray it down and go home.

Meant to Fish

Float in ten inches of water. Get on a plane in under two feet. A massive 38-gallon oval livewell keeps your bait fresh all day long. Power Poles, trolling motors, fishfinders, and as many rod holders as you desire get you on the fish. Optional T-Tops, towers, and 2nd stations allow you to choose how you get there.

Porta Bracket Review

Porta Bracket The Porta Bracket is our jackplate of choice on the Atlas Boatworks 23F. Now that we’ve been running our demo boat for several months, we thought we’d take a minute to talk about some of the benefits.  We posted our thoughts on jackplates on our “Design Philosophy” page.…
