Tower height (2005 SV-211)

[yeahbuoy]

Planning for delivery of new-to-me 2005 Air SV-211 TE. I'm hoping the community here can help fill in some blanks with regard to specs. Specifically, height with stock tower up, and with tower folded. For the sake of uniformity, maybe best specified from either waterline or from tip of prop. (Or other suggestions?)
My objective is to determine issues fitting under dock roof upon entry, and when up on lift, and also fit into garage in off-season. Yes, well understood that there are otehr factors regarding placement on lift bunks and on trailer and such, but the initial facts I seek will perhaps serve as a baseline for me (and others) to work from as I gather the other relevant info. All of my searches reveal that others have asked similar quesitons, but few answers.

Thanks for considering, and for any information you can share!

I have a new-to-me 211 on the way too. It should be delivered this week. I can measure that once it gets here if nobody else answers.

I have a DHM trailer. When the tower is folded, it grazes the top of my 7’ garage door when I back it in. What kind of trailer you have will make a difference.

I had an '05 211 on a Boatmate trailer, like MTR, with the tower folder the rear leg just grazed the edge of a 7' garage door.

Thanks, all, for the help. Good info.
So I tihink I'm OK for offseason, now just need to determine height from some reference point to the top of the tower when it is up.

I have an 07 and just grazed a “9’” canopy I drove under once (on trailer), so sounds like a 2’ difference between down and up. For what it’s worth I also graze the 7’ garage door going in and that’s pushing it in with the trailer jack all the way down on a Prestige trailer.

I was so bored I went out and measured some stuff. From the rub rail to the top of the tow point on the tower is about 4’0”. From the rub rail to the bottom edge of the boat hull was 2’6”.

Many thanks MTRBTR and others! That should get me started. I will share what I find out as I move forward...
Cheers

OK, the boat is in the water and getting new engine broken in - love our early warm spring days in Georgia, kids have already been up on wakeboard even with 60 degree water. Some measurements:
the tip of the tower is at 85” above the waterline, boat empty except for full tank of fuel.
Outcome for my dock is to move a brace which happens to be located directly above the tower, and then there will be clearance for things once the lift is up.
