SB board read 63'. our Lazer pointer said 64' our 63'10" mast made it through slowly but bent our antenna hard. It was a falling tide, high tide at Vero Beach showed it was 1.0' tide, I believe we were 2 hours past high. Our antenna is 2' +- above so 65'10" approximate.

The board showed 62.5 we waited as another boat approved. They informed us the board slided down and it's showing less. They passed with 63.7 air draft. We passed with 62.8 plus 3ft antenna. Top of our antenna touched the bridge

Tide boards showed 63.5, we are 63ft including antenna. We had less than 6in to spare. That's why we always slow to a crawl...never know how accurate the boards are.

No problem getting under. We have a 63.5' air draft and went under with reader board showing just over 64'

Just went under on 11-2 @ 11:23 AM. I have a 63.5' Mast. The tide board was no help….all of the numbering and markings below 62' were gone. Caution! I barely got through.

63.5 mast and our antenna tickled the bridge 1.5 hours before low tide.
