Trucking a 109
I am in the midst of purchasing a 109 that is currently in Charleston SC. Now the trick is to get it Boston, but apparently us new englanders love our low underpasses. Anyone know how much is gained taking the stanchions and winches off ?

Re: Trucking a 109
I took a look at my J/109 yesterday to think of an answer I could bring back. Don't have much to offer other than the savings is minimal. Removing the winches gains very little. The tops of the spinlock clutches vs the top of the winch is maybe 4", take out the clutches gains another 3/4" maybe. Hard to tell, at the bow, if the bow stanchion is below the winches or not.

I had my boat trucked in the spring of this year. Go with these guys https://www.greatlakesmarineservices.com/

They have trucked quite a few J/109's around the country and have a special trailer that keeps the boat low, I didnt have to remove anything, but I did need to loosen the guard on the helm station and tilt it forward to lower its height. Sorry, I also removed the wheel. Stantions, winches all stayed on.
These guys trucked a few J/109's in 2024 alone. Good Luck, I was 100% happy with them.
