Big thanks to @jcyamaharider for the inspiration to try this. Let the winter projects begin!

I squeezed my AR210 under my 7 foot tall garage! Obviously, the tower had to come off. I took the wheels off and dropped it onto vehicle dollies. I used a hitch with a 6 inch drop. I was able to back it in entirely with the truck - I didn't even have to use the front caster for clearance! I had a few friends come over because I thought we were going to have to remove the trailer from the truck and push it on the caster, but I didn't even need too much help. They were laughing at me saying it would never fit, but it did! So yeah, it really is possible!IMG_4873.JPG IMG_4850.JPG

Nice. Also looks like that door could be swapped out for an 8 footer with some header work.

How difficult was it to remove the tower. I'm wanting to do that as well, but for different reasons. Thanks!

yours should be a very different tower from the one on this post. I think @Julian might be able to elaborate further.

PS. you can you always ask @swatski to take your boat to Bimini
