I'm thinking it will be more like 5 & a half foot
draft if floating in heavy water.
He might be floating in alcohol when checking the
measurement. Not unlikely... being sailors and all. :)

The boat was designed with a depth of 6-5 inches in salt water.
If it were floating in fresh water it would sink
.3, so the draft would be 6-5-1/2
It takes 875 pounds to sink the boat one inch.
So if there is double that added since building,
then the draft would be 6-5 plus .3 plus 2 . . .
Total 6-7-1/2
Hard to believe 6-10 but maybe it was floating in heavy water . . .
