That said, if you REALLY want to run in shallow water, a jack plate is

to change it.


One benefit of running in extremely shallow water: When (not if) you
need to change your prop, you can just hop over the side and stand
behind the motor.



If the water is that shallow, you should tie off the boat and walk.

Not as much fun. The pure river sled aluminum jetboats draw about 2" at
speed, and take about 12" to get started. My big water version draws about
6" and takes about 14" to start if the 67 gallon fuel tank is near full.
