I owned a place on the east side of the hwy 49 bridge for several years, and I had no problem getting my boat under the bridge at full pool, although I had to lower the wakeboard tower, of course.  It was a 19' Mariah open bow.  My neighbors on either side owned pontoon boats and they were able to also get under the bridge at full pool without any problems, as could another neighbor who owned a 20' deck boat.  We did have some friends who owned a Harris tri-toon and they could not get under the bridge unless the lake level was about a foot lower than full pool.  So the answer to your question is that it depends on the boat.  I would recommend that if you already own a boat that you try to go under the bridge when the lake reaches full pool this spring.  That way you will know for sure.
