Looking to purchase an R5 next boating season and we are getting ready to build a house. Would like to get an idea of what size garage door I should go with to give us the flexibility to buy an R5 with a tower. For the people that have R5s what is the height with the tower up and the tower down? I searched and could not find an answer for the R5. I realize that it varies depending on trailer manufacture but would appreciate anyone with an R5 with tower that could chime in with heights of the tower up and down.
Thanks

If it's a surf then that will add a significant amount of height. I have a 12 foot door and our R8 surf fits with tower down and clears by 2-3 inches. Our A25 cleared with the tower up by about a foot. I know neither of those boats are the model you're asking about. But I'd go at least 11 feet, 12 if you don't want to have to put the tower down.
