What is the draft on a 198cx? REally need to know how shallow a 198cx can be fished out of.

I am sure it is not much: My 2007 183 CX has been in 8-10 inches several times. Had to lift the TM and prop blast a veggy salad all over my bow but the boat had no issues.

See ignorance daily
About 10 inches. 15-16 inches to plane out in soft mud and 2 feet for a hard bottom.
I would say closer to 12-14" to float. Also might depend how much gear and fuel is in the boat.

Agree. The reason I know is because I grounded my '04 198 on a rocky flat while trolling around fishing. When I jumped out of the boat to push it off, the water didn't get up to my knees. If you know how tall I am, you'd be impressed with the draft on that boat!!![]()
