big ol draft

[moskalm]

Hey all-
Who thinks a 5'5" draft is too much for eastern Florida/ bahama cruising? Will this just cause headaches or is it doable?
Looking to purchase my first boat, 1985 hunter 28.5 on Merrit Island.
Your thoughts?

5'5" -- no worries in FL, except in a couple of places on the AICW.

no worries on the "EAST" coast of FL, anyway, lol.

5.5' of draft is a shoal draft for a 28' boat is it not?!?!?! I would not want less than that! oh wait a minute, your on the east coast......hmmmmm.........
