Need Height Measurement: 98 X on Trailer with mast in crutch

Post by Daves_knot_here »

I searched the archives and found many threads on mast height to clear bridges, but did not see any relating to height while in the crutch.

I just bought 2 of the portable garages from harbor freight since they are currently on sale for $159 (thats $120 off regular price). I'm planning on adding some height to the verticle poles so I can get the X in there with the mast in the crutch.

Problem is that I have the mast totally removed from the boat right now.

Can anyone measure the total height of the mast from ground level at the very end (highest point)?

Please let me know if your trailer has the stock 14, or modified 15 inch tires too.
Thanks!

Dave, since noone else has responded, I'll give you the measurements of my '01 X. Maybe this will help. With the hitch clearing 15 inches, the tip of the mast reaches 10 feet 2 inches. This model has the pedestal mounted crutch and the stock tires.

(You did want the mast measurement in the trailering mode--right? :D :D )
