2006 Pro Guide V16 ?n

Anyone know under a normal load how deep this boat is at its lowest point? I have some shallow channels that I want to get into and was curious.

Thanks!

I can imagine that this would be a difficult question to really answer but I did manage to take it through a channel tonight that was about 3 feet or a little less deep without a hitch.

i have a 2009 pro guide v16 and i can float it and move very very very slowly with most of the motor out of the water in about 18-24 inches of water. ive gone so shallow with it in spots that the troller motor wont work and have to chug it with the main motor.

That's comforting to hear. Thanks!

one other thing if you working in very shallow flats you lift the motor totall out and redistribute the weight to even the keel out, get out and walk it around... but that is a pure desperation move heh.

HA!! If it gets that shallow I will fish the other 20 miles of shoreline and skip it!

This is on a lake in Ontario and there is a channel that has rocks that you get to dodge and depending on the water level it can be tricky...seems to be different every year but it gets us into another enormous body of water.
