Title: Luna Sea 4, loaded and ready to go this Sunday
Post by: Luna Sea 5 on April 09, 2010, 06:59:32 PM
8am, AH Marina, first launch.

Question??? She sits 13 1/2' high on the trailer.  What is the average height of the Parkway bridges.  I get a bit nervous trailering that thing.. lol

i did a trial run last weekend, and none of the bridges were marked.  Does that mean that they are at least 14'?

Nick When in doubt stay in the middle of the overpass.  I am sure you will be okay.

I was just checking and I think that the heights on the bridges is 16' as are the toll booths.

Watch for trees hanging over the street on smaller side streets.

Don't ask how I know.  rgmn

Nick, also be careful of residential areas where marked "NO Trucks"  One of the reasons could be low hanging wires or trees.  The average freight trailer Height is 13'6".  If going any distance and you are worried,  Stop in a truck stop get a Commercial Road Atlas and follow the truck routes. As previously stated the low bridges will be marked but, the idea is to know about them ( low bridges)
before you start your trip. Nothing like sitting in front of a 12'6" overpass with a 13'plus trailer and a big line of traffic on you azz blowing horns.  rgmn

my ride consists of rt 195 to the parkway.. thats OK..

Toll booths and parkway bridges from exit 98 - 117, hopefully OK..

once off the exit, I THINK I am OK depending on that road.

Nick.  you have rod holders on the front of your truck.  throw something in there at 13'  you can always slow down to see if the pole makes it under.

Yeah, that way you will have enough time to crap yourself before the boat hits.  fcp cfzd

Buses go up and down the Parkway all day long, and some parts by Tom's River is actually RT 9
Tractor trailers travel this short route also,
I don't think you will have a problem
