[C320-list] Bottom keel to Pulpit height

[Andrew Santangelo]

Hello all,

I have no doubt about the wing-keeled version of the C320 can be  
shipped with the keel on. Mine was also!

However, the FIN keel adds 2' feet to the height.  The set requirement  
on the road is the height cannot exceed 13' 6" with boat and trailer.   
Anything above that required special permits, added fees, careful  
route planning, removal of all rails and/or the keel.  Boat haulers I  
saying the height cannot exceed 11' feet from keel to pulpit.

I know the height from the bottom of the keel to the water line is 6'  
3" - the question then becomes is what is the height from the water  
line to the pulpits. Anything more than 4' 9" and I have some  
troubles.  My guesstimate is there is an added 6', but I do not know  
from 1500 miles away.
