    2007-2009 236/230 W/ FCT2. tower bridge clearances (while boat is in water)

    Hey guys, new member to the forums as I’m finally planning to get my own Nautique.
    My buddies have been die hard Nautique fans for quite a while with various boats from 210s, 220s, 230s, and g21s. I’m familiar with these forums and have done some prior searches on this topic thanks to their referrals.

    I’ve seen various posts about tower clearance while on trailers (for 07-09 230s/236s). However, no posts allow me to figure out tower clearance for these models while the boat is in the water.

    I live in a cove where I need to go under a bridge to access the main lake. When the lake is at full pond clearance is around 7-8’. It’s just me and my fiancé so I’d like to see if I can get away with purchasing an older 230/236 with these tower types and not have to raise/lower the tower every time we go out.

    I’m curious to find the fct2 tower clearances for 2007-2009 236/230s with the titan tower as well as the standard tower while the boat is in the water. Can anyone chime in on this, Or at least point me to where I can find dimensions for total boat height (boat + tower) so I can subtract the draft and get a good in water clearance figure from that calculation?

    While I don't know exactly, I think that is going to be a close call. If 8' clearance, you may be ok (gotta fold the anchor light down)...

      2 measurements would be helpful tower up and tower down along with the type of tower. Got out last weekend but temps then dipped. If I get out anytime soon I will check on my 09-230 with FCT3.

        Thanks guys. I’d like to be able to stick with the older 4 point tower designs (fct2 I believe) due to the pricing associated with those older boats, but if I have to end up folding the tower up and down many times, the standard fct2 tower will be out of the question. Might be able to get away with having he titan tower since it’s lighter and easier to handle.
