    18' has always worked for me. Keel to masthead 21 5/8, less 3.5' waterline to keel. 18'. You should be fine! Just approach very slow and have someone verify you have clearance.

    Thanks for the kind comments. I don't have a cockpit cover. The bridge enclosure was redesigned by the original OEM fabricator so the front 3 panels are acrylic and can hinged up and easily fastened to the cross rail supports. It really gives greater visibility a much more open feeling.

    Jim, We're back in Florida and for OUR list I was hull number 531. I took a picture but it inverts when I try to insert; but worse than that it shows dirty my hull.

    Official Cummins 6cta 450C thread

    Yes, there is coolant intrusion but the boat sat for a long time between the incident and the discovery. The coolant might have drained in. I've been distracted and in California and trying to deal with this long distance due to my daughter's health problems. It's a real s....show!!

    Originally thought the problem was a coolant hose, but leak was in the Turbo. Further investigation found a crack in the exhaust manifold and head.

    My port 480CE engine overheated and needs to be rebuilt. The boat is in Boca Raton, looking for mechanic recommendations. Can this job be done in the 450 engine room? Art
