Bridge clearance - Alton Bay

Not slamming Parker, as I have no knowledge of the Marina but seeing as you seem to be mighty close to listed Bridge height at 60" why screw with it --ever consider driving an extra 10 minutes to WAM (West Alton Marine)?

WAM I can vouch for, as my daughter has been there now a couple of years (23' Sea Ray cuddy), and thoroughly enjoys the people, atmosphere and service. The rate will be a little higher but the amenities offset it.

Just a thought !

p.s. My daughter originally seriously considered Parker as well.

+1 on WAM. Heads and shoulders better than Parker Marine

It depends on what you need.. We’ve been there 10 years and have GFB..so low clearance. We couldn’t make it under 1x ….and Parkers put our boat on a trailer and launched us in from Alton docks.
If it rains a lot the parking lot floods…bad…you have to take you shoes off to get in your boat. There amenities include 2 port- potties…that’s it..
For us its great bc we just need a place to park as we have a camp on Cow Island
It works great for us. As far a security…we have not had an issue
