Height of FCT3 tower on 210 on Trailer

[redmondforsale]

I have a Nautique 216 with the FCT2 tower. I just bought a new house that has a boat garage with trailer and I am installing a larger door so I can fit the boat through the door without putting the tower down. My next boat will be a 210 with the FCT3 tower. Can someone who has one of these boats measure from the ground level to the top of the tower? I know different trailer heights will impact the overall height, but getting an idea that is close will help. My 216 is about 115" to top of the tower. How tall is the 210 with FCT3?

Thanks!

This question has been asked several times. Sitting in the showroom they are in the ballpark of 8 1/2 feet. Definitely not garage door friendly.

Have them install a 12' plate for the garage door header and you'll be fine. I don't think a 10' plate will get you the clearance you'll need/want. Only price difference will be in the door price which should be very little.

I have a 2008 210 with titan tower it will not fit through a 8' high garage door opening? If you are building go with a 10' door at minimum.

SkiTower, I was surprised by your post because I spent quite a bit of time looking through the forums for this discussion before I ask. I also looked at all the literature that has been published and height of the tower in the up position is not easily available. When I click on your "previously asked" forum links, they are were discussing the tower down position. Not the question I ask. I don't waste the forums time by asking previously asked questions, you shouldn't waste the forums time incorrectly belittling people. Further, I can promise you that the top of the tower is higher then 102" (which is precisely 8.5 feet) when sitting on a trailer.

So I will ask again, if someone with a 210 and an FCT3 could measure the height to the top of the tower from the ground while the boat is sitting on the trailer, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!

I apologize for providing you inaccurate information. I was in no way belittling you, just attempting to point you at information I felt was useful. I did miss the part about the tower up. Thank you for taking the time to search the forums, because that is usually not the case, hence multiple threads on similar topics. The height of the FCT3 tower folded is a situation that makes me scratch my head. Why would CC make a boat that can't fit into most garages...

I know it's not the same, but my 211 with FCT1 is right at 9' on the trailer (I found out the hard way), so I would like to hope a 10' door would suffice.

I apologize for continuing to waste forum time by responding to your post but it sounds like you were belittled by my previous post.

The 2009 210 we have sits around 10'6" sitting on 20" wheels. Let me know if you need any more info.

NautiUT, thanks! That is about 6" taller then I hoped, but on 20" wheels, maybe I can buy some space back on my trolly.

I really appreciate you taking the time to check and respond.
