Lake Norman -- Lake Wylie

Tom
I can tell you what I know about lake wylie - I skied with the ski team on that lake for years and have many hours on the water and friends on the lake as well

Tom,

I live in Denver, NC and I take my 2002 Sport Nautique under that bridge about four times each summer. My sport has a FCT2 tower and it fits under the Railway Bridge when water is high. I do go through very slow just to check because is seems closer than it is. Also, it is in a no wake zone. I would not be overly concerned about that Railway Bridge but the bridges under HWY 150 are a different story. One is at Lake Norman Marina and I have not been under that one too often. The other one just below Lake Norman Marina is so tight, I just do not head that way when the water is very high. I could lower my tower but I do not do it. I do not want to damage my two year old fresh powder coat job at the hinges. I have a good friend on the other side of that bridge and it is a nice area to boat titled Mountain Creek. My buddy has a center console Tee Top fishing boat that he had to sell due to it not fitting under that 150 bridge.

If you are in the area and want a ride to check it out, just send me a personal e-mail. Normally, I winterize around Halloween, but It may take me until early November to do it this year. It is not about the cold, but more about the wife making me work on my yard that I get to neglect all summer.

I hope this helps,

Donald
