interested in it if it draws less than 7' 1".

If it draws 7 feet plus 3/4th of an inch it will pressent the same
sailing issues relative to any obstacle. remove some bits and she may
reward you with another 1/3 an inch, but why would you want that? For a
trailer it's another matter and exact draft figures matter. I guess
that's what Doug is always thinking....where can he DRIVE his boat to!
In any case it draws even more than that.

A 1/3 of an inch won't matter to the trailer.

The added weight would matter more to the trailer... and to
the drivetrain of the tow vehicle... than any slight
increase in draft.

BTW what country do they use thirds of inches as a standard
measurement? Is this for those who double-extra hate the
metric system?

Dang, I was about to ask exactly how much a 1/3 inch is.
