Anyone actually measured their mast height on their 35-3. Spec in the Owners Manual is 50.5 feet mast head to water. I measured today and am coming up about a foot shorter at 49.2 feet. With the windex -including bird spike - 50.83 feet. Boat is loaded for trip but not that much (rudder top still well above water). Did the centerboard boats perhaps get a slightly shorter rig? The reason this matters is that we are headed across FL next week and there is this '49' foot bridge the Army Corp currently show as having a clearance of 50.83 feet (seriously -they worked out exactly the same- like the gods are tempting me....) due to low water in Lake Okeechobee.... If I am really that short I should be able to go through the bridge with nothing more than a ting or two from the bird spike. (tried to get the windex off today but it is corroded in place). Alternative is to pay the guy who tips boats $200 (each way). So has anyone else with a 35-3 come up short? (Can't wait to see the response to that set-up) Or do I need to check my math again (did it 3x). I could see an inch or two variance but this is more than a foot?
