How much does your boat draft?
« on: October 31, 2007, 10:07:58 PM »
today I put 200 lb of corn on the rear of my 15'6" Classic, it drafted 7.5 up the angle of the tramsom, was actually less than I figured it would draft. I put in at Farris Creek Bridge and went up to General Lowes Island, never had to get out and never drug bottom. With 150 lb it drafted only 1/2" less.

Motor I'm interested in weights 165 lb.

Not much. This photo shows the boat in water that would barley cover your boots. With it loaded right I can float in around 4" and run wide open in 3".
