400DA Bridge Clearance

[Riptide III]

Just bought a 1997 400DA. I am bringing it up to MA this weekend. Currently it is in Long Island. There are a few bridges in the waterways that are in my way. What is the bridge clearance I need? Does that include radar? I have read 10' and 13'8". Not sure what to believe. Thanks in advance

I took my 1997 400DA all the way through France from the English Channel to the Mediterranean, and if I recall we got close to touching a bridge that had a clearance of 11 foot 3 inches. The Radar was still mounted on the Arch but I had removed the VHF Aerial.

According to the 2000 410DA specs it is 12'1" from the waterline to the top of the mast light on the spoiler (this is above the radar array on my boat...see pic below). I haven't gone under any bridges less than 15".
