I know it was getting pretty close to being too high to get under it. If it�s passable now, I wonder at what water level will in not be possible? 2011 Legend Alpha 211 DCX 250 Mercury Pro XS- 25p Tempest B&B’d by Josh at Steve’s Custom props 36v Motorguide Xi5 connected to Lowrance HDS 9 Gen 2 Humminbird Solix 10 CHIRP MSI G2, Onix 10

Consensus is to at least be going 65 mph to make the jump over, and safely avoid vehicles on the bridge. Basically this will eliminate anyone fishing out of a ranger. Skeeters are obviously good to go.

I admit you�re correct, I wouldn�t make it, primarily due to the fact I�d have to stop and help a fellow fisherman in need. Most like one that owns a mercury 150 optimax with a cracked lower unit lol
