I just thought Jidge had misunderstood what the definition of draft was in this case. They had written that "My depth finder was reading 5'. The draft of my boat is 3'2", with outdrive I'm probably right around the 5'." I was just trying to point out to Jidge that the outdrive (trimmed all the way down) would be 38" deep, not 5'.

Wolf, not disagreeing with you at all what you had said to Jidge.
I was just trying to point out to Jidge that depending where the transducer is placed the 5' reading there, may not be the same 5' depth as where the outdrive/prop hit the rocks.
