Craigcat Cat, options for shallowest Draft

Build an additional 5-7 degree wedge for the outboard mount (about 1 in 12).

One last thing, you need to put a skeg in front of the ob to stop the leg from scooping massive amounts of water when it's kicked under 20 degrees or so.

Phil,
I've seen you say this on several craigcat posts and I am very interested in trying this, but am having trouble picturing it. Any chance you have a photo somewhere or could do a napkin drawing of the wedge? I have a 25 merc on mine and I top out around 20mph and it feels like it's digging in too much. I'd very much like to ride on the prop like you say is possible with this setup.
Thanks!
