Hey everyone, if anyone happens to be on their boat (C26 or C28) and have a tape measure handy, is there any chance you could grab a quick measurement for me?
I just want to know how many inches there are from the white boot stripe (top of stripe is fine) to the rub rail up near the bow (where presumably it’s the largest measurement). Doesn’t need to be exact...just close is good.
I’m getting quotes to have my C26 wrapped and they need to know the max height to figure out if a single piece of vinyl is enough, and I’m 1000 miles from my boat or I’d do it myself.
I can’t remember how to post an image at the moment, but I’ll try to remember and load one in a comment in a sec.
Thank you in advance!

Does anyone know the height from the waterline to the top of the antenna? We are taking a trip that will take us under a few bridges and I am trying to make plans but I am an hour away from our marina and cant measure. Does anyone know what the min hight the Cutwater 26 can fit under for a bridge?

With the mast folded down 9'1" and antenna down ( Cutwater spec.) I use 14' for a number if I don't want to drop the mast. I use 11' for a number with the mast laid down. When in doubt I always wait for the bridge to open if applicable. All low bridges I have encountered have had that capability except one in Chicago Diversey Harbor. When we went under it the clearance was 11' (2020 because of high lake levels 9' clearance, I have would not tried that.) When we went thru @ 11' with mast down we had clearance of approx. 6".
