rubble Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 What are your real world numbers as far as what depth you need to float the boat and what you can get on plane in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smooth move Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 i've got an 02-2200v with a i4-200 yammi, it draws right at 13" and needs 2' to get up with a jack plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanaflatsfish Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 Rubble, you can probably draft in12-14"; however, you won't be moving.... Basically, you need about 18-24" to run a trolling motor....and that should be your draft limit. I fish Choko all the time in my MA17 and it drafts about the same as the Pathfinder and I treat my draft about the same..only difference is it's about 1.5K lbs lighter and if I get in trouble, I can push it off. Without a JP - you need about 24-30" to jump up on plane.... dc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awall Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 Running you can run in 12" maybe less but if you come off plane you are stuck. I have had my boat (2000V) floating in 12" but as stated above you are just floating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 My '05 with a F150 will float in 12" or a little less. You'll be poling or drifting since you need more for the Trolling Motor as already noted. Lot's of variables in determining depth needed to run or a hole shot. I don't have a jackplate, so with just me and one well full I can get up out of 24"-30" as also noted. If I've got both wells flooded and a partner, I would probably wait for 36" or at least get going at a fast idle first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
