I am thinking about starting to launch at the Bayou Taxar boat ramp but I am concerned about the height of the bridge that you have to go under to hit the bay.  The bridge that is my concern is the Scenic Hwy/ Cervantes crossing they call it the Dr. Philip A. Payne Bridge. From what I can find it is the same height as the train trussel bridge but I cant find a height on either. My tower folds but I am still at 10.5 feet with it down at water line.  Does anyone know what the clearance is at the different tides?  Much thanks.

My neighbor has a 35ft mainship, with the upper flybridge and a radar arch.. He has to fold both the radar arch, and Canopy top down to get under.. I will send him an e-mail and find out what the heights are.. He docks at BC's..
