Ahoy! Seems as though I’ve been bitten twice, by the same broker. Staten Island Yacht Sales. Not quite the above board type broker, but that’s another story. I am now have an offer on a 506 (2001). (Dream boat)
We will need to relocate from the Great Lakes to the east coast.

Now the delema! I’ve NEVER taken that route. Need some Looper Help. I can’t get a straight answer on total height. 20’2” to 20’10” on the 506 so where do I go with this. A tape measure, ladder and some friends, oh and a Crain might do. What are the height requirements to not take the long way?
Past Nova Scotia. (I’m not sure if that’s even spelled right?).

Captains I’ve spoken too have three answers. Yup, nope and we might have to take the arch off!
WTF doesn’t anyone who says they do this know?

What’s the best route?
I’m figuring 12 - 14K with a captain who says he does this. He has said we need accurate numbers. Antenna, dish, array and lights.
There may be a high water level issue as well
Please message me, direct me whatever I need to know soon
Do I need a tape measure, friends and a crane?

I'm thinking you are going to have to take the St. Lawrence out of Lake Ontario to Delaware. That's if you can get to Lake Ontario without issues. I'm thinking a good captain is going to be worth it.

Try contacting AGLCA or something like that......great loop association.....I am sure they can help you.

I can't speak to your boat height...... but out of Lake Ontario at Oswego NY and down the canal/locks to the Hudson River then on to NY would be the route. Of course it all depends on if there are any height restrictions thru there and where this new prospective boat is now.
