Anyone have one? Interested in knowing the draft with a real life fishing load.

I have a 216BR. I can ususally get in and out in 18"-20" of water. I set my trolling motor about 20" under the water and use it as my gauge. I start getting nervous any shallower unless the tide is coming in. I would recommend a jackplate…made a big difference.

Ceylon,

Thanks for the info. The Bay Reef bow is pretty high, what length shaft do you have on your trolling motor?
