You would hit bottom in the channel coming into the Estero River
unless it was high tide.

You are most likely correct, as I do not know the area you are talking
about. Lake Erie is good enough for me. NO chance of bottoming out,
anywhere. Except Long Point, and then, only if you're trying to take a
large Cruiser into the Bay.

Jumbo ( over 10 inches) Perch, Rainbow Trout, Pickerel, Salmon. All I
need. AND clean.


The bay and river near me are all a mile wide and a foot deep. That is
why I like a boat that runs in 14" of water.


I could run the Brockway in a foot when I had the 8 horse on. I suppose
with the 25 I could do 14 if I loaded right, and in a fix, but I figure
I really need 18 to be safe...



That would be in the boat rotting in your backyard, the one full of
leaves and raccoon ****?
