Hi,
Can someone tell the minimum bridge clearance required for the CD 25 (in the water).
I've gotten estimates from the factory and a dealer that range from 6' to 8'.
I would like a little more precsion and preferably first hand experience.
The C Dory web site does not provide this nor is the "line drawing" published yet.

thanks
Charlie

Just went outside with tape measure. By eyeball it looks to be about 78" from water to cabin roof top.

Dont' know about the 25, but on our 22, we went out in the driveway with a tape measure, and measured from the concrete to the top of the highest structure, from the concrete to the bottom of the boat, and from the concrete to the trim waterline. Do a little subtraction, and you have the clearance from the waterline, which is what you want. If you are close while underway, look outside to see where you are relative to the trim waterline, and add or subtract a few inches.
