Oh, by the way...where was that filmed? Obviously somewhere down
along the coast, but I have been trying to learn a bit more about the
Texas coast as I would like to move closer to salt water. From what I
hear, draft is a big issue along the Texas coast and I need 6' of
water if I am going to move my boat. Otherwise I may be lookin at a
Mac 26M/X....NOT!!!!!


At 6 foot you can go most places most boats go here. A bonus for you
would be we do not have much rocky bottoms, most is clayish mud.

But to get to the areas where most boats can not go like out of the
way great fishing spots and pristine bays... the shallower you can go
the better. We have a full keel with a board... 4.5 ft to 11ft max
draft.

We were sailing on Sabine Lake on the Texas Louisiana border on the coast.
It is a tidal salt water lake. Not sure if it is deep enough. It is in the
Summer, but it might not be in the Winter.
That video was taken on our maiden voyage aboard our new to us South Coast
26'A "26 Again"
