Draft Depth Determines Where You Can Hide

Deep-hull offshore racers like the Squalo dominate open Atlantic chop between Port VC and Key Lento, but try piloting one into shallow Grassrivers sawgrass and you’ll ground out immediately — handing flat-bottomed fan airboats and nimble SeaSharks a decisive home-field advantage.
