250 Searay obx outboard trailer height / clearance on road

[Jeff Giffin]

Does anyone know the height of the 250 OBX on the trailer ? I have ordered the model with the aluminum arch and need to know for bridge clearance on interstate . Does the arch fold down .?
Thank you

Arch folds. Up you are probably at 12’, down at 9’

Confirmed, the arch folds. I don't have my 290 yet, so can't check. But, I previously had a Monterey 278SS, and it was about 8ft 3 inches with the arch folded. So, I'm sure you will be in the 8 foot to 8.5 feet range. You will not have a problem on the interstate, or even local roads. Those bridges are specifically marked but very few are under about 15 feet...

Do not fold your arch for trailering. Keep it up - it is MUCH more secure that way. If you do fold it, you need some type of bracing. You'll be fine on highways with it up. Minimum interstate bridge clearance is 14'. As Paul noted, you'll be right around 12', probably a little less.

Hi, sorry to co-opt your thread but does anyone know the bridge clearance height for the 250 with the tower? Folded/Not Folded. It's so odd but I cannot find it anywhere online, including SeaRay specs sheet. Thanks!
