We have a 26' i/o bowrider that is SUPPOSED draft only 18" dry but in actuality when fueled sits about 2' down and with the outdrive raised as much as I dare to maintain some thrust the skag sits about 28" down. We are on the windward side of the lake and even with our breakwater the boat rocks quite a bit on windy days. Hence, the problem. I just pulled my boat and that really upsets teh fam (and me). I've exhausted all alternatives to my lakefront options. The only option that remains is a different boat. I'm considering the same size outboard with an outboard engine OR a pontoon. Specifically, a new Chaparral osx 250 or a Harris 230 tritoon.
Any input is appreciated.
