Ahoy Lee, We went through this bridge several years ago to complete our circumnavigation of Manhattan. We did wait a while for some trains before they let us through that morning.
There are several other bridges, Jan remembers them as being around 30 ft, so a motor boat should do fine. They require days notice for opening so they essentially open just for large commercial traffic that need to be there. It is a interesting ride seeing the "backyard" of Manhattan. Pay attention to the tidal currents, they get up to 3 or 4 knots in the East River but I don't recall the currents in the Harlem River.

I am helping a friend bring a displacement hull power boat from Long Island to Ithaca, NY via Hudson River and Erie Canal.
