I am looking at an F44 and wondering how high it is and what the draft is. ( I understand there is a bridge in Chicago that is about 19'.
thanks

F 44 CONVERTIBLE SEDAN MODEL 448 OR F 44 SPORT FISHERMAN MODEL 445 OR F 44 MOTOR YACHT MODEL . I can try and look though some of my papers to see if i have the info . But it would help to know exactly what model and maybe the year ?
Have you checked with the seller ?
Almost forgot welcome to the site !

Going to be a really tight fit... An F32 is 14' from keel to top of bridge (not including anchor light or any bimini), plus road clearance for the keel because of the trailer. With anything in place above the hardtop, you probably don't stand a chance.

I do believe he is talking about air height to take the boat down the river system from Chicago, 19'1" is the lowest bridge just outside Chicago.....
