Inboards you can get away with 4.5-5 ft, however with a wakeboard boat you'll want 10-12 ft. to allow for your wake to develop to its fullest potential.

Check your info on the boat's draft. Should be 22-24". I'd hang on if you're on plane and you see 3' on your depth gage!

NAW, that all depends on how well you know your lake. I go through a chanel that connect 2 lakes (my house is on the smaller of the 2) to get to my boarding spot. It's very windy, and only around 3'-5' for most of it. Best way to go through it is on plane. But then again, I have drivin that chanel a few hundred times. There are very few people that I would have drive my boat through it though.

Good point, Mad Dog.
