FBC Height

Post by Captain Decent »

I am trying to get my newly purchased b31 from maryland to Washington and I need to know the height of the boat from keel to bridge at its tallest point. Anyone have those numbers?

Also, one shipper said the fiberglass tank will not survive the trip as the diesel would beat it apart on the road. Sounds bogus. Seems like smashing through chop would be far more hard on It.

See if this post helps you out. Looks like 13 feet but I say Capt. Pat says with trailer to allow 20 feet.

Never heard the diesel would beat up the tank. The tank has baffles, and I can not believe trailing it would beat it up more than a 5 hour ride home from the Canyons in 3 to 4.

Allow for 20ft? I was thinking this boat is closer to 12.

Top of the windscreen to the bottom is probably about 13 feet, then you need to allow for the height of the trailer and bunks it sits on. Figure another 3 to 4 feet. The Capt was allowing for any errors or bumps.
