Ok, I have a Sweet 16 5.0 Ford / OMC drive.
In order to just float the boat with the drive up. How much water do I need?
I ask as my boat will pass through our shallow canal now with the drive up, though will hit a little unless I push down on the bow. I bet there is like 1 1/2 of water in the canal now.
I ask as I have always wanted a Correct Craft / Mustang / Nautique style 16 ski boat. Maybe we will get one if it floats in a similar way - but wanted to see if I can get an actual number of what the Donzi requires, I am on another forum trying to get the same spec on one of those ski boats. I do not care about driving it through, just need to float it walk it through a canal about 24 feet long, before and after it deepens.
I know many of you have experience with boats other than Donzis is why I thought I would ask.
Regards, Tim
