I was trying to find the height of the boat when its on the trailer. There are a couple areas that it may get close. But has anyone measured this?
 
From Yamahas web site.

Thanks you. I dont know why I didnt think to look there. By chance know how much of weight savings the aluminum trailer has over the regular. I see the dry weight on trailer is 6025 lbs. I wonder if the aluminum trailer would be lighter and under 6k lbs.

I do not know the weight difference..
 
Wish I owned one so I could go out in the driveway and measure for you :(

I measured my 255 sport E on the aluminum shorlander that came with it and it was 10’6’. Not sure why the Yamaha site says 11.5’

Anchor/360° light?

That 6025# is DRY weight, E.G. no fuel in the gas tank, no fishing gear, etc…with a full tank it would weigh 6691#, and that’s just with a full gas tank, add some fishing gear and other resident weight and you’ll be knocking on 7000# on the trailer. Sounds like you may be trying to make weight for a towing capacity? If that is true, and you are that close to the tow capacity you need a tow vehicle with more capacity.

Oh yea, good point. That’s probably it. Mine was folded down at the time. I was measuring for purpose of fitting in a 12’ door and checking clearance.
 
Thanks for the height measurement. I have a f350 so i dont have an issue with hauling. Just trying to figure out what the hauling weight will be for registering the trailer is all. Not a big deal. Want to make sure i'm under 8000lbs when loaded with freshwater and gas and such.
