There has been many discussions on tower height but I can't find my answer as my question is a little different then the ones normally posted looking to get it in a garage. My dry stack marina storage has a height restriction I'm not sure off the top of my head what it is but what is the height of just the boat with the tower folded not sitting on a trailer?

I know @MrMoose has looked into this quite extensively, maybe he can chime in. I have never put my tower down, yet. I did take a bunch of outside measurements that I can dig up.

I don't have the answer to @robert843's question. Here are the measurements that I've taken... not with laser accuracy.
Total length with trailer tongue folded 24'3" (this will vary from boat to boat depending on where the bow roller/winch is positioned)
Height on trailer with tower up (including the nav light): 10'9"
Height on trailer with tower down (including the nav light): 8'6"
Width on trailer: 8'6"

If I had to estimate, @robert843, I'd say that the boat with the tower folded, no trailer, would have an approximate height of 7 feet.
 
Does anyone have the height of the boat with the tower up and down while the boat is in the water? I'm looking at a covered dock for the season and need to know if it will fit.

Thanks, Ed
