[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]You may get water in the back of your Suburban. I had the bumper of my truck pretty much submerged. The depth of the water is enough to float my boat but ify dropping a motor other than a cheap electric. The bottom of the channel is not muddy but hard and would eat a prop if you hit it. it's a little over knee deep most of the way. [/size][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3](EDIT)Another thing to check on your rig is the vent hose on your rear differential and make sure it's on and above any waterline you expect so you don't get water in the differential.[/size][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]I walked my boat from the ramp to the buoys in the channel where it is 3.5 - 4.0 deep. I wouldn'y try it if I were you, Kent. If you fall down and have a heart attack you may have a hard time finding anyone that would dare give you mouth to mouth! I can see it now as an old couple is strolling down the bank and comes across you. "Hey, Martha! Is that one of those bugle mouthed trout I've heard about on BFT?".[
