I was think it'd be great around here for that same thing Wayne. Lakes and rivers is all we have. And the Wabash river can be fun but can be shallow for even an 18 ft runabout with I/O. Lots of room on the thing for the creature comforts too!

Greg could probably speak to this better than I can but I'd think that
with a jack plate on the outboard you could probably run in less than
2 feet of water. The risk is getting stuck and not being able to get
off but there are some tricks to help with that. First trick is to
run aground *slowly* and don't try to power your way through the
shallow spot. :-)

It's my understanding that Mr. Fretwell has left the group.
