Hello fellow GW owners,

I'm hoping one of your has a Canyon 336 and had it shipped via truck. I'm trying to find the height of the boat with the hardtop for the shipper, its going via truck from CT to FL.
I have the factory installed hardtop, outriggers and open array radar. Its still in the water so very difficult to measure it and info will be helpful.

I did email GW and will share if they respond.

Thanks for your help and hope everyone is having a great summer.

i don't know the height but mine is 2008, radome, riggers and was on a flatbed trailer truck- it was under 14' for sure- he needed no assist vehicle.

if i remember correctly, on the gray site it gives total height with hard top- you would have to add the radar height.

mine went from Tamp to NJ
 
if it helps, bridge clearance which is waterline to top of hardtop (without radar) is 9'2"- i bet total height is around 13'
 
just a suggestion, not sure if you have ever had a boat hauled.

I wanted to shrink wrap mine but haulers said the wrap used on new boats is different than regular shrink wrap and haulers were concerned that regular shrink wrap might tear and beat the boat up.

They suggested removing all cushions and canvas. I removed most of the canvas but left coaming pads and front seat back cushion on boat.

One "surprise" I had was the amount of diesel spray that got on boat- it was a good thing I was at the boat yard the day boat arrived so I could wash off the diesel spray. (it was difficult but a few days baking in the sun would have made it worse)I had a left a few cushions on the boat and the coaming pads were on boat- it was tough getting the diesel spray off these

Some haulers have their exhaust stacks under the cab but most have exhaust stacks that are above the truck cab, you probably get less diesel spray if exhaust is below boat.

Just an FYI
 
Beach, I think your hauler gave you a line of baloney. There are certainly different thicknesses (mils) of shrinkwrap, but even the lightest should be OK. That being said, asking the people that will do the wrapping would be the best bet. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend shrink wrapping it - in fact, wrap it all the way down and under the chine. I work part time at a marina and our shrink-wrapped boats are trailered all the time. We use a middle-of-the-road thickness and have never found a need for anything heavier - including snow loading.
 
Thank you all for your comments, I haven't had the boat hauled as yet and did plan to wrap it up to prevent the diesel soot and road abuse. Just as I thought Grady (Carolyn Ray) got back to me today with the stats on all the 2009 models, I included it as an attachment for your information. Most models don't change much over the years so it may be helpful.

I'm moving to Fort Pierce in late February, tired of the winters in CT, tried to see if I could join the Grady club in Vero Beach but it's exclusive to people that buy their boats there, not happy about that as they seem to travel quite a bit together.

Take care and keep up all the excellent post and information. The only format I seemed to be bale to upload was a JPG, if someone wanted the file as a PDF or XLS send me your email address.

Dennis,

Thanks, I had a feeling that was the case- i think the hauler just didn't want to deal with the wrap if it ripped- I would have wrapped the hole boat. I winter wrap it all the way down to below the waterline so that the wrap doesn't beat up the gel coat on really windy days!(came in handy during the hurricane and big Noreaster!)

in any case, I was in up north and the boat was in FL and i had very little control- but boat is here now and it's not going anywhere!

I am always impressed how helpful GW is! That is great info

bob, good luck with your shipment to FL
