Hello all. Need to truck a 1988 Sedan Bridge 345. Anyone have info on removing windshield? Need total height below 14ft. Thanks.
 
With a 16'9" keel to highest point and not including the trailer. And from the Keel to the Venturl at 13'2" not including a trailer. Looks like even removing the venturl and arch(if you have one) you will still be over 14'. I sure hope you can find a very reputable company with very good insurance. Might be a good time to get a new seal to put under that venturl. I couldn't find anything about removal. But going slow and taking a lot of pictures might help with putting it back on.

We hauled a 550 Sedan Bridge from Lake St. Clair (near Detroit) to Portland, OR to be reassembled. Here are a couple of pics of getting her ready to travel.

One of the best things I did was fly the guy who was going to do the reassembly from Portland to Lake St. Clair to do the disassembly. He knew he was going to have to put her back together so he took his time taking her apart.

I like the look, sleek, throw a picnic table and a grill up there.
 
Andrew, it's kind of hard to give you specific advice because you didn't fil in the profile so we don't know where you live.
You also didn't say where the boat is located and where you want it trucked to.

At this point it's kind of like answering the question "How long is a rope?"
