I live on a lake in central Maine and my dock is, unfortunately, in 15"-20" of water. (The variation is based on rainfall and how far they open the dam.) The bottom around the dock is sand and mud, no rocks or weeds.

We've been using an outboard runabout, but we have to paddle out, or often my son pulls the boat into water deep enough to drop the motor. It's a pain. An I/O would be no better.

So, the question is: Is this enough water for a Sportster? I would come in to the dock bow first and back out, although the boat could be spun around if need be to depart bow first as well.

Any advice would be appreciated. I have to say that the Sportster looks like a really FUN boat. My non-water summer transportation is a turbocharged Miata, which is a kick. As Mazda says, "Zoom-Zoom."

Thanks.
