Parker Marine Slip Access?

ThePlut · 09-10-2006, 06:31 PM

I have had a slip there all year. Mine is a Cobalt 240, which is specified at a max of about 57" bridge clearance. They tell you that the clearance is 60" at full lake. I don't think that is perfectly accurate. I was able to get my boat in and out under the bridge, while the lake was still about 6" above full lake

Now, it's not exactly the most comfortable approach, getting in and out with only inches to spare. The owner had to take mine out the first time because I didn't think I could make it. I can send you a short video clip of that experience if you want, it's spooky...

I do have to lower my bimini, each and every time I cross. Small penalty to pay, the slips are very reasonably priced and the people are great. I'll be back next year, and ongoing until I buy something that won't fit.

Send a pm if you'd like to know more.
