Hi Forum,

About to take delivery of the subject line boat. I know there is info out there about height on trailer with tower folded, but does anyone know what it is is with the Bimini support removed?

also, if anyone has removed it, how big of a PITA is it to do so?
 
Tell the dealer you want and need the shipping tower supports. they are yellow. They normally toss them out with the trash. The Bimini frame is a bit heavy to be taking on and off. If you are looking at removing it to store the boat in the off season ok. But if yo are thinking of removing it after every outing it would be a PITA. I would have used a bigger font sz but it wouldn't let me.
 
10-4, thanks for the reply.
It would be a seasonal removal. Just trying to gauge the height of it with the tower folded and it removed. I have a large shop but the previous owner was a moron and only put in a 9ft door.

trying to exhaust all options before spending the cash to raise the entry.

NoodleFish,

What did you end up doing to get the boat under the door? I’m in somewhat of a similar situation and may be looking at removing the tower to fit into my space for storage.
