... freeboard is less than 4' max. "Close enough for jazz."
Definitely close enough for jazz
When I was trying to figure out whether the boat-on-a-truck would be under the 13' target height, I took some measurements....
Interpolating from my scribbled notes, below, the bow freeboard is probably around 4'-4 (6'-7" "pulpit to water", minus 2'-3" pulpit height).... the freeboard at the transom is probably around 3'-2" (5'-2" "pulpit to water" minus 2' pulpit height).
(Edited to add: note that the draft is actually 6'-0", as Christian has said. I was told that the keel would be sitting on a 2" thick wood block, on the truck, so I fudged in an extra 2 inches. I was trying to figure out "worst case" so I knew if I'd need to remove pulpits before loading on the truck to make the height limit. I didn't.)
Your mileage may vary, contents may have settled during shipping, no horses were harmed in the making of this movie....
