Bill,
Where in NE? Up here in Buzzards Bay and surrounds I can count on one hand
where I cant take my 7 1/2' draft.

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.

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.
