Has anyone cruised the Erie Canal in an American Tug 395?
I'm looking at the draft/3'5" and the air draft 14'4" and I
was wondering, starting off our Great Loop, would these
clearances be ok in the Erie Canal.
I'm looking at the Canal stats and they seem doable - but
a neighbor of mine says these vary based on time of year
and other things like runoff, rain shortages and even the
impacts of the Hudson and Great Lakes.. (whatever that means.)
We were originally looking at a totally different vessel - but
things have changed in that regard.
Thank you in advance...
By the way, a video on YouTube by a couple who have Tug hull #44 - an
American Tug 34' is outstanding. Their video is called Tug44.
