Dry and shallow draft?

Post by Redbelly »

What boat in your opinion gives the driest ride in chop and gives the shallowest draft?

We run a Mako 1900 inshore. It's not the shallowest draft, but it is a dry ride. I love it. I've been able to get where ever I have wanted to go so far with it thus far. A lot of the guys on here will have a much shallower running boat though. I think if you are thinking about a shallow water boat that does ok in chop then you can't go wrong with a Hewes.

I'm thinking that's why Chalk wants to sell his Ghost, to get one of those!

To boldly go where no fisherman has gone before! :-D
