yep, with the right tunnel cat, you can be planing in 1" of water. however you need to have a powered jack plate. And since the gulf can be literally 1-2 miles of flats to get to the honey hole of fish. its common in any of the gulf states.
now, couple a tunnel cat with a tower and you have a great fishing rig.....as apposed to a burn bar which is just nuts and dangerous
for those that dont know. a burn bar is a grab handle that rises above your console, you stand on the console, lean against the burn bar, and steer/throttle with your foot. the problem is, you hit one small wave, you get tossed off and you become chopped bait. for some reason they are big in Texas
