It is only the hull of my boat that is GRP the rest is wood and yes I also have a petrol engine but would be happy to go through last to save you problems or at a quite time. I have taken my boat through Frogall tunnel and they dont come much tighter that that.CKP

The tunnel is also so narrow that to put rubbing boards in would seriously reduce the navigable width. Allowing that the chances of incident with petrol engines is slight I would still prefer not to be in there at the same time as several gallons of petrol.
