Default bridge clearance?

Anybody know where I can find bridge clearance specs for Mariah boats? I've checked the Mariah website, but they have no info.

I'm really interested for specs for the following models:

1999 z212
2000 z252
2000 z250
2005 sc25

Thanks.

    By Bridge Clearance, you mean vertical clearance? I'd say stay away from bridges less than 6ft to the waterline. That should be more than enough on all those models.

    Default Re: bridge clearance

    Yes, I mean vertial clearance. There is a bridge that i have to go under, and the water level fluctuates depending on rainfall. At best there is 6ft clearance. At worst around 4ft. So I'm really looking for a boat that has a clearance similar to my 1999 z212.

    One time I found a website that listed bridge clearances in the specification sections for their boats, but I forgot which site that was. Does anybody know of websits like this?

    Sounds like at 4 feet you would need to trade it in for a canoe

    The one bridge that we have in the nav channel near me I believe is 8 feet or probably around 3-4 when flooding in spring time.. heh.

    Default z212 makes it under

    well the z212 will make it under the bridge, unless the water is real high from a lot of rain. I'd like to know how much taller a z250 is than the z212

    So what your looking for is the freeboard dimension + the height to the highest point on the boat as in this picture:



    The freeboard dimension you should be able to find as a listed dimension. The other portion though will probably not be listed. Enlisting someone to measure that for you seems to be the only method. Those of you out there with these models willing to measure for us and post up the dimensions?
