    Not sure but a buddy has a 30 Grady White with radar and he makes it . I think 12 is pushing it.

    You owe me a keyboard cleanup.

    Pushed beer through my nose, 5 minutes after drinking it. :Spittingcoffee

    I'd be surprised if it's 10 feet. Why don't you just come in from either the south or the north and avoid having to even go under the bridge?

    Didn't the guy with the Grady White have a son with a black cape horn with sharks teeth? I know, I know, but I had to do it! Sorry for the derail.

    I have a large CC with a tower and I can fit under that bridge any time but top of the high tide. 12' should be no problem, just watch the tide, take it slow and don't forget to drop your riggers, antennas and and T-top fishing rods.

    FM.

    I live on the north side and go out south outside of high tide. It's not a factor for me so I don't remember the number posted on the bridge. 15' seems a little high and I'm pretty sure it doesn't say 12' or less clearance.

    My 23' Mako CC with T-Top probably pushes 13' with the VHF antenna upright. Once in awhile if I'm dumb enough to forget it, I can snag the tip by a couple of inches on the bridge at high tide.

    I think if you rammed a sport fisher into that bridge at full speed and dropped it, you'd be a hero to anyone owning a house on the south side after their property becomes "waterfront, no fixed bridges" ;)

    Bridge height is 15 feet at mean low water.
