I am not completely sure but I think from the ground to the top of the tower on a 197 with a full tower is 10'-6". I can measure mine when I get home today and let you know for sure........

Jeez Rod, I cannot keep up with you!! You get rid of the Mini-tower, now you are putting a New Dimensions mini back on, then your boat is for sale.... you are making my head spin buddy!

Anyways, to answer your request... for my MC mini-tower, the tip of the tower is ~6'6" off the water. Give or take a few inches for the load in the boat....

yep im crazy..

the reason is because the house i put an offer on is on ski lake with boat parking. you have to drive under a bridge to access the lake . alot of the TT boats im looking at have towers on them so i'll keep it this time for my wakeboard friends.

i just got back from seeing the house, and there was a tourny going on. they were using an 07 TT and it went under the bridge with mini tower up. so im good to go if i go that route.
