That all depends on whose definition of "average" you use.

Prior to the mid-to-late 1980s, few if any runabouts would have had a problem getting under the bridge at idle speed. (Tops down, though!) But since then, the size of the "average" boat on the lake has increased.

One thing to consider: Fomby's is on that side of the bridge, and Fomby's rents pontoon boats... and those pontoon boats have to get under the bridge.
