tower height on a 197

[floridamastercraft]

I need to know what the tower height is when fold down (mini & reg tower) from the ground to the highest point on the trailer to see if my garage door is going to be high enough.....

I have a 04 197TT with a mini tower - folded down it fits in my 8' garage no problems

based on those pictures, looks like the full tower is a better option, since it can fully disassemble down to the height of the windshield...

how much rooom you have left when going in you 8' door? what is the height from the ground to the top when folded?

does the bimini fold with the tower? not sure from the pics...

does it fasten to the tower?

We have a 197 w/ full tower and bimini ... and can fit it in a standard garage door folded no problem (as you said, it folds below the height of the windshield).

As for the bimini -- it can be detatched from the tower (it takes a minute or so). My wife and I can get the whole tower up or down (including bimini put on) in less than 5 min. I'm sure we could go faster, but we're never in that big of rush.:D

Yes the bimini folds with the tower, I can check when I get home on the exact height of the folded tower, but from what I can remember it is a couple of inches.
