THE MEASURED HEIGHTS PROJECT

The number nobody publishes, taped by the people who own the boats.

The lowest fixed bridge a Looper cannot route around is 19'6". Almost no boat model has a published air draft. Reviews skip it, listings guess at it, and factory numbers rarely survive a radar arch or an owner's mast. So we're building the missing table, one tape measure at a time.

Every entry is a real measurement on a real hull. Named where the owner allows it, dated, with the configuration written down. We verify each one before it publishes, and no number here is ever inherited from a different hull. A listing tells you what someone typed. This table tells you what a tape said.
Free to search, free forever, no account. These numbers are donated by the owners who taped them, so they belong to everyone. The registry will never sit behind our paywall. What we sell is our own homework on boats members are vetting. What the community measures stays open.

The method

Ten minutes and a tape

  1. Measure from the waterline to the highest fixed point with everything lowered that folds. Fixed means what stays up: hardtop, arch, windshield, whatever cannot come down at a bridge.
  2. Write down what lives on top. Arch, mast, antennas, radar. Say what folds and what does not. Two honest owners of the same model can tape different numbers, and this note is why.
  3. Note how she sat. Full fuel and water ride lower than empty tanks. A rough note is fine.
  4. If it's easy, tape the everything-up height too. Optional, and useful for the days you don't want to lower anything.

The registry

Measured hulls, by model

The registry opens empty, on purpose. Every row here will be a real owner's tape on a real hull, verified before it publishes. The first rows come from owners like you, and every boat we tour for The Hunt gets taped and logged here too.

Add your boat

Put your hull on the record

We're shopping for our own Loop boat too, a year out, in public: follow The Hunt. And if you're vetting a boat right now, the free gate check runs its numbers against the Loop's hard limits in seconds. New registry rows get announced on the Can I Loop? Facebook page.

The rules. Every submission is verified by a person before it publishes. Your email is the verification contact and is never shown, shared, or added to any list. Credit appears only when you check the box. A measurement stays attached to its configuration note, because a number without its configuration is how buyers get burned. And no figure in this registry is ever copied onto another hull: your boat's number belongs to your boat.

The bridge doesn't negotiate. Measure once, help every shopper after you.
