so hopefully we can be upgrading our boat before next season(long time)and if been doing a lot of research and have learned almost every thing i need to know about them except one crucial thing draft. for some reason boat companys hide this even wakeboarding mag wont tell you the draft. we go to a very shallow river and i know big v-drives fit but i would like to know the draft on some boats. heres the list 1 09 tige rz2 2 09 epic 23v 3 09 tige z1 4 09 X-star 5 09 supreme 226 6 09 axis 7 09 vlx 8 09 supra 22v 9 09 X-15 10 09 tige 22ve 11 09 moomba xlv 12 09 moomba lsv 13 00 tige 21i(my current boat for comparison)
i still think it is absolutely ridiculous that tige's website wont say their boats draft. like i know its a minor problem but it just puts me 1 step farther away from tige.
Hey man just stop by your local dealers or call them. Your looking at boats that range from 40k to 90k I gotta think you can slim it down to where your real number is to about 5 boats or less. Call your local dealer he or she will help you!!!!
if your river is sketchy plan on hitting regardless of draft. invest in spare props. For a quick rule of thumb look at the transom, the deeper the V, the deeper the draft. the heavier deeper V boats get into the 30 inch range, sometimes more. You will need to empty ballast, drop speed, and put peeps in the bow when traversing shoals. Are they marked? Also remember your depth sounder will have trouble when the water is very shallow.
