How shallow of water can a ranger boat go into?
This all depends on what type boat your are talking about. There are two factors that cause a boat to float shallow: the beam width and how light it is. The wider the beam the more efficient it is on spreading out the weight of the boat which makes it float shallower. With a 96in. on a 20ft. boat you should be able to float shallower than a foot probably around 7in, depending on how much gas is in the boat.
