REPLIES BEFORE 4 PM TONIGHT WOULD BE GREAT!!!!!!!


My Wife and I have a 4 pm showing of a house on a salt water canal today. To get to the Harbor I have to go under 3 bridges,Pellam,Midway & Edgewater.
The realtor sent me an email saying Midway & Edwater are 14 ft high, but he wasn't sure about Pellam. I checked Google earth put cant get a height.

DOES ANYONE KNOW THE HEIGHT OF THE PELLAM BRIDGE?
I want to get a pontoon to go to the open Harbor.
Thanks
Peter

The Midway bridge on the Countryman waterway is about 10' at normal high tide, and so is the Edgewater bridge.

The Pellam bridge is much lower (want to guess about 6' at high tide), but I've never had a problem on my pontoon boats as long as the bimini top is lowered and all fishing rods are taken out of their rod holders (pita). Boats with hard tops or antennas will have problems with that bridge.

Your realtor is lying to you! There are NO 14ft bridges in port charlotte! Only in PGI. The Pellam bridge (Auburn waterway) is approx 6-7ft at high tide, 8-9ft at low tide (actual measurements by me at various tide levels in 2015). This is bimini top water. A hard top/t-top would be quite difficult beyond that bridge. You would be a slave to the tides.
