I went last year, just ask for the lower deck and you should be fine. The speed bumps at the terminal lanes is actually worst then the ramp into the ferry, I think I scraped while trying to go over those bumps.

Lower deck also lowers the chance of door dings since you would be surrounded by trucks.

I don't think the tide really matters because the ramp is adjustable in so many ways. It depends who is operating the ramp Posted via RS Mobile | |

Search button...
that and
If you call ahead, they'll usually reserve the nicer deck (forgot if it's top/bottom) that has a WAY easier ramp to get into... should be okay, if you can get past most speed bumps in GVRD, you should be okay at the ferrys, except for the gay super steep deck.

Over 3 inches and your fine on any deck.
