Up here in New England, what you hit when you run aground is often a
boulder or a rock ledge, not soft forgiving Chesapeake mud! For that
reason, I would never even consider a boat that drew over 5 feet. Too
many places I could not visit at all, and too many obstacles everywhere
else.

None of those boats could get close to my slip nor go many of the
places I go. They would be aground in my slip, aground in the marina
channel, aground in Swan Creek, aground in Kent Narrows, aground in
Fog Cove, aground in Knapps Narrows, etc....

FWIW, I notice deeper water exists on the Western Shore of the
Chesapeake, while shallower waters are on the Eastern Shore. A keel a
foot deeper can lighten a 35ft boat by 1000 pounds which plays a
bigger role in lighter winds, when racing. Light displacement is not
so important where it's windy or if you're motoring to gunkhole
destinations more than sailing.
A deep fin protects the rudder, is shorter and thinner, and when you
run aground, you slimply motor back out or spin her off. The old Navy
Luders Yawls drew 8ft. The newer Navy 44 by Pedrick draw 7.25'.
There are a few TP52s at Bert Jabin's yard that draw 10 or 12ft. Just
sayin.
