these boats are 9'6" beam, and they dont draft much at all I have never gotten out and checked mine but i drive it in 2 feet of water all the time to beach at Manitou island in lake Michgan, this is not my boat but i currently own 2 23 penn yans 1 identical to this only a 1977 and the other no bridge, both are salmon boats and handle the waves like a 28 foot boat, hope that helps you in your search
