R5 w/Heritage Trailer Overall length

I have a 2013 R5 with the factory Heritage trailer. Looking to verify the overall length with trailer. Unfortunately my boat is in storage and not accessible.
Also would like to confirm the overall height with the Bimini up.
Would like to know soon so I can make arrangements for a new storage unit for spring.
Thanks in advance for your help.

The length of my 2020 R5 measured out at 28'5'' from the front of the trailer to the back of the boat. The height on the trailer w/tower up is 10’8” - not sure how this compares to the bimini, but my old 242 had a bimini and it fit in the same storage with 12’ door.

Thank you. Big help. The garage door I’m using is 10’ high. Looks like that maybe close?

Since you have a bimini and not a tower, then you could drop it down when storing. I did that with my 242 for a few months, while waiting for a new storage unit with a 12’ door.

My R3 just barely goes under a 10’ door. I had to stand in the boat and push up on the door to fit under. Tandjmei8 is right that you might have to take the back stays off of the Bimini and let it down. Just don’t leave it down for very long resting on the vinyl or you might get some color transfer.
