Tower folded height 210

[bandit628]

Might be looking at getting a 210 in the near future. What door height is required for the following two types of towers?

The first is a 2008, the second is a 2009. Will these fit in an 8ft door? Could someone please post pictures with the tower folded down?

Not sure if this helps with your decision... But that tower on the 08 is a beast to fold down. Especially if you have speakers up there.

^^^...What he said...you will HATE folding that thing down every time you use your boat. And if you have speakers on it, you will likely need help.

So how about the 2009 height?

8'6" here is a link to a thread about it.

I have an 09 210 and can confirm what ScooterMcgavin said above - 8'6" - if you are willing to spend a bunch of time (removing the Z5 bimini if you have it, removing the pins that provide weight assist, taking trailer off ball and lowering jack all the way, and removing board racks) you can barely squeeze in to an 8' high garage. It takes 20-25 minutes to do everything required. At least that's the case with mine on a VIP tandem trailer (mine looks almost identical to the 2009 pictured above).

from the three nautiques i've had in the past year or so i will say the flight control 2 towers are all fairly heavy. if you have speakers it becomes a two person job. and make sure you have something like several thick towels or a yoga mat to place on the bow. when the tower reaches its balances point it wants to fall very quickly.

with that 08 and the speaker you may want three people. two to lift the tower, and one to help lower it and position the cushion to protect the gel coat up front.

2008 with titan tower will fit under your garage door and 1 person can lower the tower
