Can anyone recomend a flats boat that rides smooth and keeps you dry in rough weather and side chop?

First, I don’t own a flats boat… So, I can only speak from past experiences. Here are three which fit your specifications and I would recommend you have a look at:

Maverick (not Hewes):

Action Craft
http://www.actioncraft.com/

Dolphin Boats
http://www.dolphinboats.com/

Dolphin Boats is probably the smallest of the companies mentioned above, but don’t overlook them.

I have a very dry 18' flats boat I had custom built here in Titusville I'm trying to get rid of for a new one. It's 3 years old, drafts 6"..I've measured it properly in the flats.

Hews/Maverick builds a quality boat but I'd have to say out of all the big name boats out there, the Action Craft dry hull is one of the best.

Not exactly answering your question
