Height of G21 or G23 from waterline no ballast

[Phil8uga]

What is the height from the water line to the top of the tower of a G23 or G21. Assume no ballast. Right now there is 10’ of clearance from the water to roof line. Dock company says to factor 3’ for the lift. I am thinking I will need 11’ of clearance. Thanks for the insight!!

What year?? I believe you have 3 different heights to factor in here. 13-17....18.....19...

I think this diagram is a 2017 model year, but if the G23 is 10' from prop to top of tower, minus 25" draft, that is right about 8' high. The G21 should be just slightly shorter.
The newer tower is taller isn't it? By 6" or so?

Actually 16, 17, 18 are all different (increasing) heights based on tower & light pole changes. I'd have to assume 19 as well with a completely new tower.

Thanks. All good info. Bought a new dock yesterday. Just was curious as we design the roof height of the new dock. It sounds like at least 11’ is needed but 12’ to be safe. Thanks for all the insight.

More height is alway better especially if your water fluctuates up and down to a large degree.

Fold the tower if needed.

How easy are the towers to fold with the Bimini? . I demoed a 210 this summer and it was not that easy to fold with the Bimini.

Phil....I wouldn't say it's "Easy"....but once you get the hang of it and do it the same each time...it becomes nothing. 20 secs and it's down. Just get a 19 with the power tower!!!
