B31 Height Clearances

Post by moguls2go »

Hi Guys,

I've seen a question posed on the board a few times about clearances on an FBC; it may be in a thread somewhere on the site, but since Ranger was just loaded this morning I asked the hauler to measure and bump this info to the top of the forum in case anyone needs it: 11' 11" from road to the top of the bridge and 10' 6" from the keel to the bridge:

Yeah, he measured both and was comfortable. I don't think it's the same guy, Charlie- this guy was hired by the new owner in CA. Not sure how he found him.

Over the Rockies with a trailered boat, you guys are crazy.
I mount the trailer on the slide and they take me 600 meters farther and I'm anxious about the bulkheads, the engine mounts, you guys are crazy !

Charlie - I thought the same thing, the truck looks similar, I even asked Max if it had Alaska plates, different guy.

Here's to an uneventful trip across the country.

Wow that trip did not take long for a guy towing a 10,000 lb over sized boat.

This transporter obviously can get the job done. What is the name of the company or person that did this transport and what is their contact info. I may have a job transporting a B31 from Texas to New York. Thanks for any info you can provide.
