54 Voyager or 560 Min Height
Posted: September 10th, 2019, 2:57 am
Hello, all!
We're thinking about possibly getting a 54 Voyager or a 560 out east rather than shipping our Meridian 408 out, since we're going to be starting the great loop next March-ish! As there are some important low bridges along the route, I'm wondering if anyone has a decent measurement of the highest fixed point on the hardtop to waterline. To be clear, I'm perfectly willing to spend a long day unbolting EVERYTHING from the hardtop for the one super low bridge near Chicago, so that's the height I'm wondering about -- what's the lowest you can reasonably get the boat, even with a bunch of work. Happy to unbolt radome pedestals and reseal it later, etc. The owner's manual says 19'0" to the arch, but we keep finding those specs to include radomes and such on other boats we've been looking at.
Thanks!
