G-W Invader, (sometimes listed as GW Invader), began production in 1967 with its 10-foot and 16-foot boats.The "G-W" indicated the last names of the founders. The initial designs of 10 and 16 footers were that of sport racing boats with a very low profile, low weight, and shallow draft.
The boat has a draft of 4.50 ft (1.37 m) with the centerboard extended and 1.17 ft (0.36 m) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water, beaching or ground transportation on a trailer. [1] [4] The boat is normally fitted with a small 2 to 6 hp (1 to 4 kW) outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.
Flats boats are often small easily trailerable boats although some may reach up to 23 ft in length [6] or more. They are typically equipped with outboard motors and offer a relatively shallow draft compared to other boats of the same length, to allow for passage over sandbars, oyster beds or other submerged objects or underwater features with less risk of damaging the hull or engine.
A padded V-hull is a hull shape found on both pure race boats and standard recreational craft. A variation of the more common V-hull , which has a V-section throughout the length of the vessel, a padded V-hull has a V-section at the bows and the forward part of the keel which then segues into a flat area typically 0.15 metres (5.9 in) to 0.25 ...
