What else can I help you with?
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.
What hull type is best for ponds and small lakes?
As ponds, small lakes and slow flowing rivers, may be shallow generally, a flat bottomed, or a shallow keeled boat is best.
What could happen if you anchor a boat from the stern?
There are vessels designed to to specifically anchor from the stern of the vessel. However if you mean a "fishing boat" as a small recreational or "pleasure" craft like a bass boat, it is almost NEVER recommended to anchor from the transom of a boat. This is especially true if you have any type of current or sea state (even lake or wind waves) as your stern is the lowest part of the boat to the waterline and swamping can happen fast. I have personally seen it at the mouth of the Columbia River bar located in Pacific Northwest. Not to mention you run the risk of fouling your props with the anchor rode.
Is a scow a boat?
Yes, a scow is a type of flat-bottomed boat that is typically used for transporting goods and materials over water. It is characterized by its broad and shallow design, which allows it to navigate in shallow waters and carry heavy loads. Scows are often used in rivers, lakes, and coastal areas.
What is a gondella?
It seems like there might be a typo in your question. However, if you meant "gondola," it is a type of boat traditionally used in Venice, Italy. Gondolas are known for their sleek design and are typically propelled by a gondolier using a long oar.
What type a hull is best for ponds small lakes and rivers?
As ponds, small lakes and slow flowing rivers, may be shallow generally, a flat bottomed, or a shallow keeled boat is best.
What type of engine is common on boat desined for shallow water?
Boats designed for shallow water commonly use outboard engines or jet drives. Outboard engines are advantageous due to their ability to be raised out of the water, allowing for easier navigation over shallow areas. Jet drives, on the other hand, draw water in and expel it at high speed, making them less likely to become clogged with debris and more effective in shallow conditions. Both options provide maneuverability and efficiency for navigating narrow or shallow waterways.
Is dory a type of boat?
Yes, it is a flat bottomed fishing boat with high flaring sides and a sharp prow.

How long does it take to get to Wales from Dublin by boat?
That will depend on the type of boat, but it can be done in as little as 2 hours in a high speed ferry.
What is the speed of an air boat?
The speed of an airboat typically ranges from 25 to 60 miles per hour, depending on factors such as the engine type, size, and design of the boat. High-performance airboats can even exceed 70 miles per hour in optimal conditions. These boats are designed for shallow waters and can navigate through swamps, marshes, and rivers effectively.
What should you do first if a boat capsizes?
If it's a canoe, either try and siphon the water out by rightin the boat in the water and tilting it up and down from the side, or grab the rim of it while it's upside down and swim to the nearest shallow water. Otherwise, could you be a bit more specific? I'd be happy to answer the question if it included the location of the boat and what type of boat it is.
