Coral Ridge HOA: 5.5 ft fingers and Oakland Park

Coral Ridge rewards a shallow-draft boat and an HOA that still thinks in terms of a family cruiser. Five and a half feet in the fingers is the overlay. A tuna tower is a second no at Oakland Park’s twenty-five feet.

Typical HOA friction: lifts, davits, and a 53-foot center console that looks like a yacht to the neighbor who kept a 24. Typical water: 5.5 ft, 25 ft air draft, 65 ft recommended max LOA. Center consoles (Whaler 420, Yellowfin 42) are the honest product. Advisory, not legal advice.
