Heights on the water
Coming to the gurus for some help!
Is there any reference for height on the water?
The background is we are looking at a trip to a lake house on Hartwell this summer. From the location of one of the houses we're interested in, we would have to clear an 8' bridge to get out to the main area of the lake. I don't want to have to drop the tower on my '21 Makai every time we go out.
Height with tower up is 128.5" on the trailer, 28" draft. Only thing missing is height from ground to lowest point of the boat on the trailer. If there isn't a reference, I'll make a trek to the marina to get it. If I nominally need 96" to clear the bridge, I imagine there is more than 4.5" from the ground to the boat, but wanted to verify.
Obviously I can get more clearance by loading with ballast, but there is also the factor of varying lake level.

There should be a spec for freeboard (to the top of the gunwales). Add Tower height to that.
