Man, I would have to check. We use them to sit on when we are floating... Less than a foot I would guess. Let me look at some pics and see if I have some that show it.

been wondering the same thing myself. Measured many boats through last summer and came up with a pretty broad range pending hull type. Cat Vs. Vee Vs. staggered Vee etc.

Not sure what the purpose of the excersize may be here. At rest can very greatly even in one boat, due to passenger load, fuel load, beer/cooler load , and ballast tanks...
... not to mention one boat compared to another of same make/model that might be made of kevlar vs. C/F vs. fiberglass vs. resin; as well as traditional layup vs. vacuum bagging; etc. etc.
Then comparing different boats and types (Vs/Cats/manufacturers/lengths) would produce a WIDE spread result here.
Are you looking to develop a swim step that bolts to the cavitation plate?
Or possibly developing Hydrofoil available at West Marine and Wal*Mart to improve the performance of your VI boat?

I would say most are at least 8" below the water line
