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.
