camaraderie - I repeat...it is FOOLISH to buy a 6' draft boat if you really want to explore NC waters.

Cam knows NC a lot better than I do, but SW Florida and the keys ain't exactly deep water either. I will say that if you do get a deeper draft boat, get some davits and a nice dink (or just pull it behind you). You can base the boat in one locale and explore in the dink. That is what we do. I actually think that is the BEST way to approach shallow water. It is a lot less stressful and opens up possibilities that are not possible from a large boat.
However, if you have no interest in that, better follow Cam's advice. It is usually pretty good... usually (smile).

.if it has a 6' draft, then you'll just have to be a little more cautious..ie no wheat juice whilst underway 
Draft was a BIG issue for us... that and bridge clearance. I was even looking at a Morgan Out Island 28... nice full keel boat, but what a slug with the 10' beam! Eventually decided on the Pearson 27. We sail primarily in the Neuse River and Pamlico Sound so the wing was a good choice for us.
