Dave, The Bertram's we looked at were 4'6" draft. They didn't make these older boats for the G.S.B.

Don't take this wrong, but no boat over 25 feet is made for the G.S.B. as far as draft is concerned :-). Between the depth and the eel grass, the G.S.B is God's way of saying, "Keep Out." (lol)

Mark,

HaHa,funny coming from a guy with a 40' boat.
Seriously, I thought about going to the north shore. I grew up in Huntington, but the G.S.B. has so much to more to offer. I'm just going to have to be careful and have my Eldridge handy.

Billy, I grew up in Huntington too...just east of the whitman mall.
 
Welcome to the 4' draft club :) You have to be careful and plan around the tides more but it's definitely doable. Mine is 4' draft empty but usually in the 4'4"-4'6" range. Now you just need a dinghy for exploring the shallows :)
 
I live on the north shore but have been boating on the south shore all my life. I prefer it. There is much more to do and more to see on the south shore. JohnC is right. We just have to be careful and sometimes plan around the tides. I've been doing it for a long time, and love it :).
 
Can't always plan around tides. Say you want to go to lunch at Kismet for a few hours, you gonna do a 12 hour swing? So what I want to know is this. Assume low tide, normal low tide, not dead low from a moon. Where can't you go? Does anyone have a decent list of the low spots? JohnC, I am sure you do?
Thanks.
