290sc height on trailer
 
Will a 290sc, with the tall framed windshield, fit in an 8' tall garage door ?



THANKS !

AWESOME !! THANKS !! :)


Now I just may have to move the winch stand a bit further forward..
Looks like the boat on the trailer is going to be 8" longer than my garage.. :crazy:

It all depends on the trailer.
Aluminum bunk trailers sit higher than steel & aluminum cradle trailers.
Trailer suspension type makes a difference.
Wheel and tire size makes a difference.
Hitch height makes a difference.

Certainly, that all would make a difference..

But I've noticed ALL of the 290sc's listed for sale are on nearly identical Ameratrail trailers so figured it was safe to assume the majority would be the same height :)

I'm on that same trailer (aluminum bunk and make) and just had the outer bunks moved in due to loading issues. It brought the boat up almost 2". I was 1/4" on the fenders prior like in the pic above. My assessment is that I am sitting higher than in the pic above.

I'm on a tall tire as well. Hope this helps!

It CERTAINLY did !

Happens to be a dip in the driveway in just the perfect spot for the back tires of my truck.. Fits under my 8' door NO problem...... :)
