Bridge Height

Postby hawkinscm2 » February 28th, 2020, 8:44 am

Does anyone know the bridge height or waterline height of a 98 355 aft with radar and arch? We just bought one in another state and need to get a slip here at a local marina. Thanks for any and all help.

My 405 which is the bigger brother to you but very similar in many respects is apx 15 ft to the top of the arch. That doesn't count your radar or mast light. If their attached you'll have to add that on too.So hopefully that will get you going .

Several people at our marina have their radar units on a hinged mount. Takes about a foot off the overall height.
My brother used to have a Heritage 36 and his entire radar arch was hinged. I'm guessing it came from the factory that way.
I used to have a boat that the anchor light was the problem. Took it off and replaced it with a hinged light. Took off about 18".
