Actual Bridge Clearance of 370ss & 400ss
Looking for help from owners of 370's and 400's. I have been looking of a 370ss that is both in good condition and fits our budget since I sold my 330 this summer. I know Formula publishes the 370 at 10' and the 400 at 10'6" but I'm not sure how bridge clearance is measured. Would this include search lights and masts or is this with a bare arch? I'm really looking for actual bridge clearance without radar on either boat. I have a bridge that is 10'6" so its really close on either boat. I don't have to go under it often and actually could be avoided all together but it would be nice to clear it. Also if anyone knows of one of these boats in the Great Lakes area please let me know. I have obviously combed over the same boats that have been sitting on the popular websites and on CL but they are either out of my budget or color and maintenance is off. Thanks for the help. JG

I put the light down on my 370SS and went under the Charlevoix bridge. Wife said we had room to spare. I think the bridge was marking 10' but I believe that's to the lights, we went between them.
The chart from Formula shows the water clearance at 9'7" to arch, that makes sense from my experience.

I have a 2002 400ss 496 motors. Around 500hrs. I would want around $140,000 Its in perfect condition. It has some tastefull updates and has always been properly maintained. It spent its life in a boat house in sandusky until 4 years ago. I store it in a heated warehouse during the winters now. Let me know if you interested.
