R8 Surf Height on trailer

[rksalvador]

Can anyone tell me the height of an R8 Surf, on the trailer, with the tower folded down? I am looking for minimum clearance required to park in my garage.

If it is possible to remove the two pylon to gain some room that would be good to know too.

Total height with tower down?

Ours is 11 feet 5 inches with the tower down. We have the electric prizma tower on a BoatMate trailer with 18” wheels… I’m sure the height will be different depending on what trailer you have and wheel options etc. But I hope that’ll give you an idea.

Also someone else on the forum posted that you can buy a pylon for the top that is shorter than the one cobalt puts on from the factory. I believe it was something like two inches shorter but I can’t recall exactly.

Hope it fits for ya!

I don't know exact height, but I do know that with the tower up it will not fit in a 12ft OH door. With the tower down it will fit barely in a 12ft OH door so I would concur with the above that around 11' 5" is close to correct. I also have the prisma tower and a boatmate trailer.

Here is the thread about the shorter pylon for the tower…
