I've got a little 1448 Alweld jon with a new Suzuki 30HP 4-stroke, hydraulic tilt. I have 10-1/2" ground clearance with the motor down. I've always used transom-savers in the past for my bigger motors, but I'm thinking of trailering this one in the down position(as recommended in the Suzuki owner's manual)...I'm not looking to start a transom-saver argument.

Anyway, my questions is does 10" ground clearance sound like enough for trailering on decent roads and regular boat launches? Anyone else's rig run about this height and has anyone ever had a problem with clearance at 10"?

Thanks,

Tim
