About how shallow can a V20 go
 

Just curious. Last time I went out I stuck it in some shallow water and was just wondering whats the shallowest a moderately loaded V20 can go. There's some new fishing spots I want to try out but not sure if it is safe to try to get there in the V.

Trim the motor up so you are not sucking mud but are sucking water
and you can go in about 2 feet of water.

Don't ask how I know that.

That's another advantage of havin' an electric trollin' motor...I can use it to ease thru 1 1/2' areas to get to where they are if needed...:party:

as shallow as it will till you get stuck lol :beer::you:

Same with a kicker motor :party::party:

I hear if you tilt the motor all the way up and get two guys to push while one stands on the bow you can get thru 1' with ease....right Franco?
:you:

If we coulda gotten "Hawaii 5-0" out of it to help, it'd be more like 6":you:

But somebody had to "steer" LOL

STEER??...can't tell ya what he was really doin', but it had the boat rockin'!!:you:

Hey like Arlo says if you aint got 8x10 color glossies with names dates on the back you aint got squat.
For you younger fellers that would be Arlo Guthrie and Alices Resturant.
Ozzie and Franco were in their late teens when it came out, I was a pup but remember it vaguely.

And I was steering with one hand, that is true, the trolling motor in the bow.
Might of had a cocktail in the other, can't recall now.

It depends on how bad you want to get there. I lived on Calcasieu Lake for 10 years. Our boat slip and canal were about 5' deep, but once into the lake there was about 200 yards of shallow shoreline to get across. I'd have everyone sit on the bow hanging over the rail while the props barely slapped the water. It wasn't high speed, and I wouldn't recommend it for miles but we got out and went fishing when the depth didn't allow.
