I have a Porta-bracket on my 20SF with my 150 ETEC on it - I can idle over about 12 inches of water - kicking mud, but not digging. It's about the only thing I like about the Porta-bracket.

Young guy, must be smart to buy a Seacraft trying to learn the "ropes" about boating. Seems like a good question to me.

I can idle through 2' with the 25. With the drive all the way up, the prop is still below the waterline.

Had to go through 2' of water to get in to this bay. Woke up next morning in 3' which made the narrows 1'. Had to wait for the wind to pick up to get out. Good thing it did but I would've stayed there for a few more days if it didn't
