Shipping a 2007 42SS-remove superstructure?
I suspect the correct answer is...pull the boat and measure. However, I'm 750 miles away and hope I can at least start with institutional knowledge. Thanks!

Better check that! And that would be on the trailer. Figure at least a foot between the keel and the street.

When the buyer of our 4207 took it they had the fly bridge off in a day and they left the next day.

Re: Shipping a 2007 42SS-remove superstructure?
These boats are designed to be taken apart. The hull will go on one truck and the superstructure will go on the other truck. It's pretty straight forward.
If it were me I would go by water if possible. Where do you boat in Atlanta? I didn't know there was water there...

Re: Shipping a 2007 42SS-remove superstructure?
I'll give Joules a call. The last quote I got was 80 hours of labor to take the cap off...from a marina who apparently didn't have the same insight that you guys do...or figured I didn't care. Either way, I'm thinking I'll get the boat to the marina a couple of days early, pull it, put it on the hard, pull the props and rudders (maybe shafts), do some minor maintenance, flush the heat exchangers and get a careful measurement. In our test measurements...using 19'5" as bridge clearance and 3' as minimum draft, I need 84" from the top of the light to the top of the dash (barely protrudes over the windshield) to clear 15'6". We are measuring 82". I'll have to see if we have any gain from pulling the running gear. If not, she come apart.
