We have a 22 ft Four Winns. You can not have any fixed towers and you want an easy up/down bimini.

Last year we came VERY close to striking the bridge on early spring. I was convinced we were going to hit. Had there been any chop on the water I would have hit the windshield. The key is to make sure you go directly under center.

As was mentioned previously on choppy days the boat can bounce.

Given the easy access of kayakers and Rt 11, I think the boats in Parkers and that area may be more prone to vandalism and theft. Around 20 boats got vandalized in precisely the area you are referring too last labor day so something to consider.

Also, the water once you get on the Parker's side of the bridge is not subject to chop so you pretty much never have to worry about your boat banging against the dock. However, I find my boat also had heavier film on the bottom than when kept at another marina.
