Willard 30 Searcher airdraft

[Ramzsurf]

Hi, I just bought a 1974 Willard 30 Searcher and this is my first post on the Trawler Forum. Like a lot of people, my wife decided she didn't want to sail anymore and we needed a Trawler.
My first question (and I'm sure I'll have many), we were thinking of trucking the boat to a marina in our area. Does anyone know the height of the boat from the bottom of the keel to the top of the flybridge. I'll lower the mast, boom, radar etc. The transport compainies are telling me 14' is about the max. It looks close but I'm not near the boat to measure.

Thanks in advance, Steve
