Does anyone know the exact height of a 2008 Sundancer 330 from keel to the top of the plain arch (without any antennas or lights) need it to hire a hauler to get it from NC to FL. Thanks!

Here is the Owner's Manual for your boat that specifies the dimensions on page 6.

The specified height, from keel to top of mast light is 4.83m.

From top of mast light to waterline is 4.11m.

From waterline to top of arch is 3.16m.

All the pluses and minuses, keel to top of arch is 3.88m, or 12' 8-3/4".

Thank you. That is what we came up with as well. I just wasn't sure if my source was accurate. Do you have any knowledge of the ability to ship that from North Carolina to Florida with the arch intact? Don't really want to mess with the integrity of the boat, or the added expense.

When my 2000 380DA was shipped on a flatbed truck, the arch remained in-place, but all the stuff was removed from the arch.

My boat is bigger, so there were roadway sections that required flashing light escorts.

The boat was placed on the trailer w/ the bow facing the rear.

Ensure that anything / everything loose is removed, including electronic covers, canvas bits and cushions. Tug hard on every cushion to check.

My boat arrived unbelievably filthy. It took LOTS of scrubbing to restore proper condition.

When you say "bigger" does that mean "taller" than 12'9" (just the boat). Transporters so far want it under 12'....thanks

Mine is wider, at 13' 0", mandating the selective escort crews.

The keel to top of arch height on mine is specified as slightly lower, at 12' 7".

I belive it is 12.3"

wingless · ‎07-14-2019

What is 12' 3"?

I just shipped my 2011 350DA from GA to TX. If you go with a specialized marine transport company they should be able transport with a arch in place only needing to derig the top. If your carrier (or the truck broker) is telling you need to take the arch down I would go with someone else...in fact I just did.

Flacoconut · ‎07-15-2019

OK thanks, did they have you remove your props for the haul?

wingless · ‎07-15-2019

The propellers must be removed for flatbed road transportation.

Flacoconut · ‎07-15-2019

Thanks, that's what the hauler website check list indicated as well.☑️

The marine transport company did not remove the props. This is the only boat I have transported so I am certainly no expert. The sending Marina did tell me that the props would be removed but I talked to the owner of the transport company and he said it was not necessary for my boat on their specialized trailers. I had the sending MarineMax to derig the arch and secure. Everything worked out well but the whole process was nerve racking. Good luck.

Flacoconut · ‎07-15-2019

YES very nerve racking!
