    It looks like the highest point is at the windshield. You could use a drop ball mount to easily overcome 3''. This one moves 9'' this is a 269.95 problem or just but the other boat that's not as good but stores well?

      Thats exactly what I was thinking, I use an XD hitch on my Suburban anyway since they have a removable mudflap that just clips on if you got the 10" version you could back it in to just shy of the windshield and then take the weight with the jack and then pull the pin and drop it all the way down. Wouldn't go as far as the caster but might get close enough and still be able to just back it in instead of push.

        Or pick up a one HP motor at harbor freight and built a small push dolly (online diagrams can be found). I have a commercial airline one, but the height would likely be too much for what we are looking for. It has a one hp motor and works great.

          DC and Jon, I think we need to convince Robbie to let us ride behind one for the day when the first comes in. If the wake is as close to the 210s shape, it may change my mind about switching from the G23. I think at the Xmas party his mind should be pliable enough

            Thanks for posting the spec sheet, Jeff.

            Looks like the total height of the boat not including trailer is 7' 1" with tower folded, so there might be opportunity to work with a trailer manufacturer to keep on-trailer clearance just below 8'. It could be the 8'6" max trailer width (most states) forces the boat to sit higher on the trailer than otherwise necessary.

            Also...I see the trailer weighs 1900lbs. I didn't realize trailers were that heavy. I guessed 1200-1400lbs for my trailer (SAN210).

              Might be a pain in the butt, but you can always air down the tires half way to get a couple inches as well as drop the tongue down as suggested above, for a couple more. Would have to air them back up on lake day, but hey...a G series might be worth it and it cheaper than adding height to your 8' garage door

                Where did you get the commercial airline trailer dolly. My new 2014 230 shows up in 30 days and that would be way easier then putting it in the garage with the truck.

                  A couple good ideas here, trailer setup to be lower via a wider stance, trailer tug, etc.

                  How about a trailer w air bag suspension? Could easily be setup to dump the 3-4"

                    That's it! Send the trailer to Gas Monkey Garage Texas and have Aaron put in a custom air bag system.

                      this could be a possibility as well... http://www.trailervalet.com/ if you could get it low enough to the ground.

                        here's a cheaper version. this looks like it has an adjustable attachment point, should be able to get really low.

                            Wonder I you could order with a tower delete and have dealer put on a fct 5! Guessing that tower would lower below the dang windshield. Would have to customize the cross section but according N3 boat works that's not to hard a job.

                              Eww, I don't like the FCT5 haha. We have modified center sections you just need to have someone with a very calibrated eye and measuring tape and a friend who is an excellent Tig welder then someone else who is a friend with a custom paint shop haha.
