Rodman 41 Fly-Bridge Air draft

[Ian Helmore]

Hello, I've been interested in a Rodman 41 Fly-Bridge on shafts for a while now, but before searching for one I wanted to find out the exact air draft (to the highest point from water level) not so much the radar arch (as could perhaps hinge) but other parts up top. My Prestige 36 fly goes under a certain bridge by a few inches, and wonder if there is anyone on this group who has one, or knows someone who does that would let me come and take some measurements? Thanks in advance, Ian.

Have a chat to R B S Marine, they’re the UK Rodman dealers / importers. Very helpful.

I think they are fairly low air draft. I was in Kilrush on the Shannon Estuary a few years ago and one arrived in from France. It had been bought by a guy from Northern Ireland and he brought it up the Shannon and through the Shannon-Erne waterway to Lough Erne. There are plenty of low bridges on the way, the one I know about is Killaloe bridge which is around 3.6-3.8m depending on water levels.
