Understood Sir,...my point was that the water level changes all the time, and the data wasn't current. (2006) Since you live there, you get the idea... A few years ago, I was researching renting a power boat in the Ft. Myers area, and spending a week to cut across to Stewart/Pierce. Bought charts etc. Never could find a boat to rent, with the exception of some pricey trawlers. I was looking for some small 21'-28' with a small V-Birth, If you or others know of any such thing. Still would love this adventure ;-)
My mast is 45', but my concern is my 5' draft.

We go down that way frequently and speak to the lock tender occasionally. We live about 1 hr away and have friends in the area.
