I know Long Island Sound pretty well. Did a lot of offshore survey work for LILCO there. Where I live now, we have very shallow water on one side of the islands (the Caicos Bank) and on the other side, a reef surrounds us and the water goes to over 6000 ft. within a mile of the shore. If it were up to me, I would probably go for a Panga hull design, but daddio loves Whalers.

I am actually looking for ways to reduce the draft of the Montauk, now, including jack plates and hydrofoil fins to stay on plane at lower speeds.
