It will run in about 6" - 8" of water when it's up on plane, however, a pump will pull water and everything else including vegetation, sticks and rocks from about 4 or 5 feet below the intake. Like Dabs said, you'd be stopping to clear the intake and impeller every couple of feet. Watch a video of those guys that run aluminum jets in rivers in Canada. They're running in about 2" of water at times, but they're also running 30mph plus. -------------------- Somebody has to walk the point. Post Extras
