We're wondering if any of you have experience with using a 42' Bluewater to do the great loop.

Any experiences would be appreciated.

Dave

I have not, though I feel it would be excellent. Your main concern is height above the waterline. I believe you have to be less than 19' to clear all of the bridges.

Hi Dave,

19' is the max (Chicago bridge) but under 15' let's you make the entire trip without restrictions. I' don't want to have to bypass the Erie Canal.

I have some concern about the bigger water sections and of course the fuel consumption.

Your Bluewater is beautiful. What year, late seventies, early eighties?

Hi Dave,

Thanks, it's a '79, 45' Sport Sedan.

This is about 14'6" to the top of the anchor light on the flybridge if I put the bimini all the way down.
