The Ranger won't do that. I need at least a couple of feet. That may
be due to the set back design of the transom.

We'll see if this one will. Promises and facts aren't always the same.


I'd still be very wary of trying to run a boat at speed in that kind
of water.

You think running aground at 60 mph could be a problem?? :-)

As to getting wet - trust me, you will get wet in these type boats.
It's a fact of life that bay boat producers don't want to admit. :)

No doubt. My Mako was pretty dry but I found several combinations of
wind/waves that managed to soak me. Doubt there's a boat made that
won't get you wet at some time - I had a friend on an aircraft carrier
who claimed they took spray over the bow in a bad storm.

Have fun. Let us know how that jack plate deal works out.

Will do - if they ever finish the boat. :-)

Later,

Tom
