    Default Shot in the dark bridge clearance?

    Got a new boat and going to make locks trip in a couple weeks. I’ve done it many times before but can’t remember. Anyone have a vague recollection of the clearance on that railroad bridge that can be opened on the Cooper R as you head down. Seems like it’s plenty high enough to clear my T Top. No out riggers. Just didn’t want to fool with trying to figure out how to get that opened/if even still possible? Thoughts, guesses, expert opinions? Shoot. Tks.

    10 foot clearance. Call them if you need it opened to clear

    I just did it with a 23' CC, outrigger mounts on T-top cleared by 16".
    Honey...I'll do it after the season is over.

    25 Sea Hunt is what I have. Cleared Cherry Crossing in Hartwell last weekend with maybe 6” to spare. Sign on bridge was showing 9’. Hartwell was 660.8 last week. Anymore water and I’d be done there. Just did t want any monkey wrenches on the trip. Thanks for the replies.

    I did it in a 23 cc with rigger mounts and radar with a foot or so clearance. Drop antenna and remove rods/flags from rocket launchers and you should be good.

    true but asking on here isn't 100% right all the time. Looking at a chart is.
