Tim,

If you can get under 22 feet you can use the eastern Erie Canal and connect
to the Oswego Canal to Lake Ontario.  If you can get under 17 feet, you can
use the Champlain Canal.  If you can get under 15 feet, that opens up the
western Erie Canal.

What is your bridge clearance?

Hi All: I've read a bunch of stuff, but I'm very uncertain as to the
maximum
height to do the loop, does anyone have the STRAIGHT answer. I believe we
are way too high and everything is fixed. Been trying to find a great boat

for nearly a year, wanted a trawler, but everything was way out of our
price
range so ended up with an absolutely MINT shape Sea Ray 410 Aft Cabin, like

new even though older, bran new Cats (not rebuilt), canvas, electronics,
even has tender, and I got it at a really affordable price, but I think the

height says, "NO LOOP FOR YOU FELLA".

Thanks much.
Tim

To all ,

I just looked at the data that I had observed in a current study in Search
and Rescue training and the current on the Ottawa river.

The documented speed was 600 feet per hour in June.

I’m right at 20 to the top of the radar, and all is fixed.
In my reading of loop statistics, I read where there is a railroad bridge south of Chicago that if fixed at 17 ft and NO WAY to get around it. If that’s true, I’m way to high.
