About

The Southern Run is a 24-foot long, center console shallow runner. The cool thing about this rig is the shoal/shallow water capabilities due to the flat bottom! This allows us to get into the Outer Banks fishing shallows with the tower to help spot schools of redfish. She will idle in 12-15 inches of water and on plane 7-8 inches! The Southern Run is high sided with good bow flair and a is definitely one of a kind!

The Southern Run is docked at Wanchese Marina, 4457 Mill Landing Rd in Wanchese, NC.
