Default Paugus Bay campground bridge

Does anyone know the height of the railroad bridge at the campground. I have a 17' four winns and was wondering if it would fit.

That is the length. The question might be easier for some people to answer if you had the height above the water line.

Be nice. It's a first post and the question was perfectly clear to me. B izer chart says clearanc e is 4.2 ft, horizontal is 9.5 ft and water depth is less than 3 ft, assuming I'm looking at the right bridge.

Sorry, Wvetre. Welcome to The Forum!

No harm intended- that's why I put in the emoji.

The original post was clear to me, also. My post was more directed toward the second post- in fun!

Stay safe.

My post was an attempt to be helpful. I have been under that bridge on a jet ski. (Bought the jet ski on my own without a year of consultation and discussion)

I assumed that others might know the bridge clearance to the waterline and could help if the OP knew that number.

I've seen small pontoons (>18ft) make it into Moulton Cove before under that bridge. There are also a lot of 16-18 ft v hulls that dock in that cove.

But it all depends on your height. If you have a tall walkthrough windscreen you may have to do some waterline to top measurements using last year's green slime marks on the hull.
