2006 282 sailfish height

[Iceman2010]

I know my boat on the trailer is 13.6 with the radar, but have not measured in water. Anyone have some numbers and will measure as well. My repower requires going under a 10-11foot bridge

FYI, you can get that info in your owner's manual - and it's typically available on Grady's website, too.

Thanks , looks like 9’9” there w hardtop

how high does your radar sit off the hard top?

Bridge clearance is in the manual but that is referring to the boat actually being on the water. There is no bridge or overpass clearance mentioned.

Correct, but that is what he is after. He has to go under a bridge on the water.

I will take the radar to be safe , with the spotlight and other stuff sticking up I will plan for another foot, so I am assuming 11ft will be safe clearance which requires a low tide entry

I wouldn't assume but would measure a real setup. The radar could be taller especially if on a platform or wedge.

I deserved that one, next time I am at the boat will measure the height above hardtop for everything misc. minus the actual radar

Also note that the angle of the keel, deck and top may be different when trailered as opposed to sitting in the water. If when connected to the tow vehicle, the tongue sits high, the front of the hardtop will also be higher. My point is that it is possible that when backing in the boat, more clearance may be needed as compared to when it is off the tow vehicle. So think about that if you measure with the trailer/boat unhitched.

When sitting on the trailer, you could measure from the waterline up at midship. The pitch on the trailer shouldn't make a difference

 

[seasick]

Measuring at that spot doesn't necessarily get the maximum height since the top might be slanted aft a bit. As the coupler is raised or lowered, ends of the hard top will also change height to the ground.
It's easier to visualize this by thinking about a single axel trailer where you know exactly where that rotation will take place

 

[amf282]

just guessing with that picture of your radar and especially your anchor light. I think you're looking at 12'

 

[Iceman2010]

Anchor light folds down and I will take radar off just to buy me some extra inches based on tode

I think this is what you were looking for, if it is not too late?

Add your radar height to that...
