Author Topic:   210 Montauk: Total Height with T-top

skydivetom posted 07-28-2012 06:36 PM ET (US)
Hello. Posted a few threads on the 2012 190 and 210 Montauk over the last few days. I'm more and more leaning towards the 210 now. I checked out the boat this morning and probably would have the T-top installed (vs. bimini). After I [went] to the boat dealer, I checked out one of the local marinas for dry storage. Given my preference to get the boat with T-top, I may end up with an overheight charge if total height of boat is 10 feet or higher. The boat dealer didn't have the information about the total height available. [What is the] total height for the 2012 210 Mountauk with T-top? Thanks,
Tom

On the trailer? It's probably JUST under 10 feet if your all-around white light on the top folds and you don't have a radar mast up there.
My 18' Outrage with Radar Arch...on the trailer, was just over 10' tall...but with the fixed all-around white light on the arch, it clipped the 11' door...first day. I ended up installing a different/shorter all-around white light mast.
It will also depend on your trailer - how high the boat sits on it, what size wheels, etc.
Try to measure the boat to the gunwale on a standard trailer (at the dealership showroom)...then go up 5 or 6 feet from the gunwales for your total T-Top height.

Thanks for the prompt reply...
No, I'm referring to dry-storage (forklift drivers will pick it up and boat it onto a rack in dry-storage). So, I'd like to find out the total height of the boat (not including the trailer).
Also, I'm referring to the T-top. See image

Roger on the dry rack storage.
I know you were talking about a T-Top, however, an Arch and T-Top are generally similar in height (above your head)...

I have a 210 Montalk, but it is wet slipped and might be hard for me to measure, but I will try next weekend.
If I can make a suggestion, there is not much shade with the t top. My previous boat, a 150 Montalk, had the bimini top, and that was perfect. On my new boat, the passengers will stand close to the console and obstruct my vision.

Bridge clearance with T top = 7'11"
draft motor up = 12.5"
Height not on trailer ~ 9'

Have you checked Boston Whaler's on-line site? If the owner's manual is posted for download or viewing it will probably include the dimensions from the waterline to the top of the T-top as bridge clearance. That plus draft should provide a pretty accurate keel to top of T-top dimension.

Do they measure the height on a set of stands for the hull, or do they measure it from the keel to the top of the T-Top?
If they measure it on stands it will be pretty similar to the height on a trailer.
My 22 with a radar arch and a radar dome on it would be pretty close to 10' measure from the keel to the top of the dome.

Bridge Clearance = the height of the tallest portion of the boat measured from the waterline.
Draft = the depth of the deepest portion of the hull measured from the waterline.
If Bridge Clearance and Draft were added, you would have a measurement of the distance from the deepest part of the hull to the tallest portion of the boat.

According to Boston Whaler, the height (to accommodate dry-storage) is: 8ft 11in (antenna folded down and anchor light removed).
Thanks,
Tom

ToeCutter66: Appreciate the feedback on the shade.
Mostly, I'll be by myself so hopefully it'll provide enough for the "Captain".
I checked out the bimini top and (to me) does not look as sturdy. Not saying it isn't... just personal observation.
