Does anyone know the bridge clearance/air draft of a Manatee? The boat I'm looking at says 18' with the mast down. But, Powerboat Guide says 14'. My slip is only 15'4" so, it's kind of important. I'm wondering if the seller is including antennas into his clearance.
 
Is the radar on the roof or mast? It’s going to be close to 15 feet. I had my previous Manatee loaded down, dropping the draft about six inches. You really need to bust out the tape measure and measure the height in segments. The variation with full vs empty tanks will make a big difference.

Radar is on the mast. The only things on the roof are antenna (which can be dropped) and a small spotlight and horn.
