I had a boat with similar clearance, you shouldn’t have any issue. I had room to spare going under. I’ve seen bigger boats go under that bridge.

Great choice in a boat if you get it. Can't beat a LUND. That 1850 is a NICE boat.

So intrigued by your question and having been under this bridge quite a few times I went out this morning in my garage and did an "estimated" measurement of my boat similar to what you did however I know where the water line is give or take an inch or two with the boat empty. I measured 50" again this is fuzzy and approximate.

That said I typically have 3-4 people in the boat when I've gone under the bridge and the clearance is wicked tight maybe at best had 3" to spare. The bridge is higher off the water by a few inches on the BB side so keep that in mind, just because you clear the BB side doesn't mean you'll make it out the other side.

That said there have been a couple times where the water level was to high and getting under was a no go.

Hello.
SAB1, fatlazyless, MikeF, JADAG,webmaster, JOEY 2665 and Maxum

Thank you all for your responses,,much appreciated and most helpful.

I'm taking from all of this that the Impact 1875 will fit under the bridge some of the time and sometimes not. I imagine during April and May with snow melt ,rain, etc,, it would be too close . From the video's it appears the arches are the main issue ,but under the main bridge it looks a couple inches higher.

Again thanks for all the responses. Any further advice will be welcomed.

Thanks again
mike

Don't forget to trim up and stay in the middle there is only about 3.5 feet of water under the bridge!

I believe boats coming out of BB have the right of way.
