Built for
/ Secluded marshes and back lakes, with enough hull to cross a large bay to get to them. The 66-inch bottom is the narrowest Boat Right builds, which is what makes this the most maneuverable boat in the lineup and the easiest one to get into water other hulls cannot reach.

Questions buyers ask
How much does the Back Bay weigh?+
Between 1,250 and 1,350 pounds dry, depending on length and how the boat is configured. Add motor, fuel, batteries and rigging on top of that for a running weight.
What horsepower does the Back Bay take?+
It is rated for 90 to 140 horsepower.
How thick is the aluminum on a Back Bay?+
The Back Bay is built on a .125-inch hull, the lighter of the two gauges Boat Right uses. The heavier .190-inch is an option on the Classic and standard on the X-Series.
Back Bay or High Tide?+
Both sit on the same 66-inch bottom. The High Tide is 20 to 22 feet instead of 18 to 20, carries 23-inch sides instead of 19, runs a 91-inch beam instead of 88, weighs roughly 250 pounds more and takes up to 175 horsepower. Choose the Back Bay for the lightest and most maneuverable hull on that bottom. Choose the High Tide for deck space and a higher operating position.
