SailorMitch will become famous soon enough
For real gunkholing, I agree with the 5 feet max figure. Over that and you really cut down the places you can go. Of course, I am a brave soul with a wing keel (draws 4'2") and Dawg will chime in that the next time I go aground I shall surely die!!!! (Have gone aground multiple times down through the years and have never needed assistance to get off the bottom. Wings are great for the bay.)
