I have a Cobalt bowrider and I can get under at "full pool" - sparing about six inches. But the point above is well made that the lake is rarely at 491. It is usually three or four inches under that. Also - keep this in mind: if you're looking at old posts (defined as maybe 2014 or older) - people may be referring to 490 as full pool. That was on the old scale "Martin Datum" which is the equivalent of 491 sea level. The lake isn't any higher, it's just the number has changed. We old lake people still may refer to it as 490. I just realized this when I saw one of my old videos. I made it in 2010 and referred to full pool as 490. I just wouldn't want anyone to check the water level these days and mentally add another foot when they don't need to do so.
