2011 SANTE 230 - Only 230 That Will Fit Under Standard Garage Door (7'1")??

[Andrew14]

Hi Guys - was wondering if the 2011 230 was the only year of 230's that will fit under a 7'1" standard garage door (because of the latest tower). I have a 2008 SANTE 210 with the Titan Tower (on a Ramlin Trailer) and it clears by only a couple of inches, so wanted to know what options I would have if I ever moved up to a 230.

Thanks in advance.

I don't think a 2011 230 is going to fit under a 7 ft door. My 2011 210 with the same tower barely fits in my 8 ft door. That's leaving the racks on, but even with them off, you would only gain a few inches. A 230 is a big animal.

GCS - thanks for the response. I thought the 2011 210s and 230s had the FCT-5 Tower that folds down below the windshield line....atleast the 210s and 230s at January's boat show both folded down that far. My 210's windshield clears my 7' foot garage door easily, so I have to believe that any nautique with the FCT-5 will fit under my door with no problem. I've seen a FCT-4 folded down, it doesnt fold down anywhere close to the windshield line, so I know that's out. Aside from the FCT-5 tower, the only one that might have a chance is a 230 with the same tower my 2008 210 has....the stainless Titan Tower. But if the 230 is a taller boat which I'm sure it is, then even with the Titan, it probably won't clear as my 210 only clears by about 2".

Andrew,
we'll just set up the trailer with airbags like those lowriders, use! Quick release fenders, and drop it down on the axles, no worries!

Jack - ha, I guess where there is a will, there is a way...whatever it takes, we'll do it!
