330 Mariner windshield removal
I need some help with possibly removing the windshield on my 1995 330 Mariner for transport. If my math is correct, The height is about 13'7" from the keel to the tallest part. Most over the road transporters the height down to a least 12'7". The transport can still be done but, it requires extra permits. I'm looking to save as much as I can due to some very costly repairs. So, my question is this: Can I easily remove the windshield myself? Or, should I just bite the bullet and get the extra permits? I'd like to think I'm pretty mechanically inclined. So, I'm not opposed to doing it myself. I just don't want to bite off more than I can chew. As far as paying the yard to do it, I've given them enough money
Thanks in advance.

Re: 330 Mariner windshield removal
You cant just set the keel on the trailer you need some sort of cradle, add a couple inches at least for that. Also, I am not 100% certain with the mariner, but don't the props, struts and shafts sit below the lowest part of the hull? You would also need to account for that or remove them which would be much more challenging than the windshield.
There are several reputable boat transporters in the Chesapeake city area, I would ask them to look at the boat and give you a quote.
