I tried in vain to make a "big water" flats boat out of our old 210 and though I could get her in about 15 inches of water and slow motor in about 20 (still not shallow enough)... I cheated though in how I made it work that skinny
The 190 is much better suited to such work since it has a much larger front casting deck and better provision for a front mounted trolling motor. The 195 "would" had made for a much better all around hull IF Triumph had made it with either a tunnel or pocket drive stern like the 190 has, this so you can use a shorter shaft engine.
1st step though on any boat to be used for such work is to ditch the bow rail. And with the 195's larger forward deck, it holds a stronger second place to the 190 for that kind of work over the 210 or 215. The 210 /215 though is a much better and faster offshore rig, and some times you just have to use the right tool for the right job
