Which configuration yields the deeper draft?

Explanation:
Draft depth is determined by how far below the waterline the deepest submerged parts of the boat extend, especially the lower drive units and propellers. When engines stay in their normal, vertical position, the lower drive unit sits lower in the water, increasing draft. Raising the engines moves those components up, reducing how far below the waterline they reach and thus making the draft shallower. So the configuration with engines in the vertical (not raised) position yields the deeper draft.
