The Shallow Sport family has been building boats for over three generations. Willis Isaac Hudson was a pioneer in the industry and produced one of the first fiberglass moulded motorboats in 1942. His legacy continued through his son, Willis “Rex” Hudson, when he designed and built the very first Shallow Sport Boat in 1982.
Shallow Sports philosophy is simple. Make a great fishing boat that can run, drift, and take-off in extremely shallow water. It also had to run smooth, dry, and track across open water chop. This quest gave birth to what we know today as the quadahedral full-tunnel hull - the hallmark of Shallow Sport Boats.
Today, Weslee “Wes” Hudson, carries the Shallow Sport torch, and like his father and grandfather before him, he continues to innovate new boat designs and constantly strives to perfect new ways to make boats safer, longer lasting and more efficient.
In 2013 Shallow Sport introduced the all new X3. Its unique Tri-Hull design revolutionized the industry and has proven itself to be a game changer.
Three generations of boat building have produced a highly evolved line of fishing vessels that set themselves apart from the competition. With three decades of boats still on the water, Shallow Sport Boats have earned the reputation as the best of the best. Their boats are hand crafted, one at a time, with a very limited yearly production.
The quality craftsmanship, techniques, and materials they have always used have proven these boats can stand the test of time, and because of that, Shallow Sports maintain their resale value better than many other brands.
