I am researching that and also going ro accurately measure the height.Standard power line vertical clearance is 15 ft and traffic signals are 17 ft. I am pretty sure that the height of the mast in the step will be 15 ft. Too close for comfort LOL.This is academic. It would be significant for a 74-year-old who launches and rigs the boat himself to contemplate hauling the one mile to the ramp with the mast in the step already LOL Sent from AOL on Android On Thu, Aug 10, 2023 at 8:56 PM, jpd9668<jpd9668 at gmail.com> wrote: If memory serves me, my vertical clearance with Respite on the trailer was c.12 feet with the mast unstepped in the cradle and foot on the pulpit. I expect that with the mast lowered to cradle but remaining in the tabernacle, the increased angle would top out above 15-16 feet. You'd be hard pressed to find a 1 mile stretch of road anywhere that would provide 16 feet of continuous clearance.
