Hello,

As many will tell you... it depens on where you will go. Take a look at the depths you plan to cruise in, check out anchorage you'd like to stay at, then decide if that draft will limit you.

Off the cuff, my personal opinion is that it's too much a draft and would limit you in some ways. I am in a different area (North East and South East USA) and I even find I have to say "no" to many places with my 5'5" draft. Of course... you can always time the tides, but... less fun.
