I'm wondering if a 9' garage door will be high enough to back the trailered boat in.

Thanks for any help!
 
Should be fine, with bimini down, of course. But it could depend on the type of trailer you have. If it's an excessively tall roller trailer, it may not. Best bet is to measure yourself since the type/brand of trailer being used is a variable.
 
My 270 Sundeck was a few inches taller than the 240SD, keel to top of windshield. I had it on a Eagle tri-axle bunk trailer and cleared my 9' high door with several inches to spare.

Make sure to measure yours first.

It’ll be very close. I use an 8’ ladder when shrink wrapping mine and the top of the windshield is definitely higher than the ladder.

Even if it measures less than 9’, use a spotter. You probably have less than 9’ clearance in a 9’ door, especially if you have an automatic door opener.

If you break a windshield, your basically fu##€d
