[QUOTE="PsychoXP18CC, post: 408198, member: 11641"] I'll qualify what I typed by saying, I'd never feel comfortable running on plane in water that shallow in my boat. And it's certainly not anything I do on a regular basis. But I believe if I had to I could run on plane in about 18-20" of water. I have also had my rig in some pretty skinny spots and was surprised it was still floating. I know I can adjust my transducer and not get my elbow wet. A true 1860 would be about 4" wider than mine, and with the 50hp tiller, should be a bit lighter than my CC boat, w/built in tank, 3 batteries, and a 70hp 4 stroke Yammy on it. A properly rigged tunnel hull would definitely be a better choice if encountering conditions like that very often. [/QUOTE]
