Freshwater / Saltwater Yep it does make a differance. In Your Boat ? shallow water will shorten those waves ? Close together/& tall.Which makes for a NASTY RIDE & they'll even seem to come from everywhere in places.I ran a 65'Steel Hull from Lantana to Ft.Myers in '83? NO WATER Drought it was raining the lake rose a lil' we(2 boats) took off.Had quiet a following of Glass boats in OUR drege line.
This is one reason this plimsoll mark is put on ships(Fresh/Salt)Load / bouyancy .Oh imagine the Gulf of Mexico at 20"trs are rolling THRU Ya !
Bout the same conditions.
