Popular motorized fishing boats like a center-console or
sport fishing boat can get you a lot of places quickly, especially if you’re
going offshore.
On the flip side of this coin though, there are many out of
the way places that you can’t even take the smallest jon boat. A motorized
flats boat may not have that much “draft” itself, but an outboard motor adds at
least a foot or two to how much water you need to safely navigate.
Simply defined, the draft of a boat is “…the depth that the
hull protrudes into the water.”
