09 210 Towers Which one Will Fit in Standard Garage?

[reeder]

I am a long time Nautique owner. I keep them in my garage. Currently I have an 05 SAN210 that fits in my garage, of course I have to lower the tower.

I am sure it has been a topic on here before, I did a search and could not find anything. Can someone direct me to a link of a previous discussion if it had already been discussed or help direct me to which tower to get on an 09 SAN 210 that will still fit in my standard 7ft tall garage?

Or can anyone that has the FCT I, II, or III lower the trailer tounge all the way to the ground, fold the tower and measure from the ground to the top of the tower when it is folded over?

Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

like everyone else has said it does depend on what trailer you go with.

Thanks Crowland! That helps. Looks like the Titan wil fit.
Has anyone tried the new FCT 3? Will it fit or come close? I know the trailer makes a difference, but has anyone taken a measurement with the FCT 3 folded down?

The guys at California Correct Craft told me that when the FCT 3 is folded down it will NOT fit in a standard 7' garage.

The new 09 FCT3 doesn't even come close to 7' folded down. FCT1 is still too tall, even with the lowest of trailers. Titan is probably your only bet. Mine clears by about 2 inches from the board racks, and i have one of the tallest trailers, Boatmate.

Just as the others said. The Titan is the only tower that will clear a 7" door folded. Lucky for you that is the best tower any way!

The Roswell FCT-3 isn't even close and the redesigned FCT-1 would almost make it.

I am not a fan of the fct3 tower just because of the folding down issue. It doesnt really seem to give a whole lot of clearance when folding it down. It folds nice and is easy fo rone person but it doesnt gve mush leeway for a garage. I would be suprised if it fits in a 8' garage it its so tall

Thank you so much for the input! The pic was very helpful as well. I am glad to be apart of such a great group fellow Nautique owners!
We really are in a class by ourselves.

FCT 3 is about 8 1/2 feet on an 09 210 on the trailer (don't know if it's + or -, but definitely close). Titan folds the lowest. The FCT 1 on my 211 wouldn't fit in my garage if it wasn't for lowering the jack all the way down (aka. not hooked to the truck)

I went through the same issue with my 08, of course the FCT3 was not available then. A FCT1 will not fit. A Titan FCT2 will fit. From the looks of it at the boat show last week, the FCT3 tower will not fit either...

change ??????

Before you turn in your 2005 210 for a 2009 210 I would suggest riding behind one first before you commit. If you you like the vert wake stay with the 2005. You will put twice the weight in the 2009 trying to dial in the wake but will never come close to the 2005 in shape, size you will match but with twice the weight and 300 more rpm at same speed with a lot of porpoising.

Supersquirt - that's a tight setup you got there and I like the vols cornhole boards. We've been having indoor tourney's every Sunday out here. good times!!!
