Shipping height of Defever 49 RPH

Howdy,

Anyone out there know what the shipping height of a Defever 49 RPH would be with the radar arch removed?

Thanks,
Luke

Depends on the model, whether it is the older style with the flybridge directly above the pilothouse or the newer style with the flybridge set back about 5ft.

I looked at trucking costs earlier this year for a segment from KY to NC and it was cost prohibitive.

As to your height question I am not at the boat right now but you may get a quicker answer at the DeFever Cruisers - A Club for Yachting Enthusiasts with a Passion for DeFever Vessels and the Cruising Life! if you are a member.

Good luck

was looking at the post-1990's designs with FB mounted aft of the earlier models.....starting to think you are right on the cost prohibitive statement...looks like with a 15' beam, it will require two escort cars in most states...
Thanks for the feedback
