Depth you keep your boat in.

I have about 18" off the front of my dock when the water is low (like this year)... What is the largest triple toon you would recommend off the front of the dock?
 
Could you please restate your question.
 
I think he may be asking does a longer tri toon boat draft more than one that is shorter (ie 25SSRX vs 20SLX). I wouldn't think there is a huge difference if any but with only 18" you want to be sure. Ask a friend with a larger boat to come over and see
 
Are you pulling the boat to the dock or parking alongside? If you’re pulling in you need to see how fast it drops off, if you’re pulling along side you’d need to raise the motor all the way up and float in and even then you pray for a sandy bottom!!! It will also depend if you’re hanging a 350 of the back or a twin tube with a 90.
 
I would also be concerned with how sheltered you are from the weather. If waves or wake can get to your boat you may want deeper water. Also, there's always the concern of getting the outboard into enough water to safely operate.
 
Pretty sure the tip of my skeg up to the water line is 2 feet...

Bottom of the lowest part of the pontoon is probably 18 inches under water.

You are looking at a VERY tight fit.
