I'm just curious what a standard depth to her a boat should be. I know there are a lot of variables such as;

Load
boat width
'rake"
Weight distribution


The numbers I'm looking for is most likely from the bowfishers and giggers. In other words, floating the boat with app. 400 pounds on the front deck while poling or trolling.

Some estimated data:
boat will be 19 X 60" at the floor
trolling motor
2 batteries
10 gallons fuel
35 Godevil surface drive or pro drive
300 pounds of gear (lights, genny, cooler)
