RE: If anyone is considerin a fixer upper 34' Californian check this one out..

Food for thought, Mr. FlyWright so graciously provided PDF's of a boat test, specs, and option sheet elsewhere in the Californian Forum. From that Bridge clearance is listed as 10' 8". Draft is shown as 3' 2". That totals 13' 10". That is probably is too tall to haul with road clearance added, but not much. If you remove the venturi windscreen you would gain maybe 5". If you plan to pull the engines as part of your rebuild, pulling the shafts, struts and rudders would also gain several inches, That would allow the aft section of the hull (behind the keel) to set on top of the trailer axle. You would probably need a hydraulic trailer to optimize height.
That been said, and this is from memory and not much time, but it didn't look like a big job to pull the flybridge.
