My boat is in a cradle at a fiberglass shop, so I can't measure the distance myself. I want to add a tongue-mounted mast crutch to hold the mast so that it doesn't have to rest on the bow pulpit while trailering. I can get a 5' high, prefabricated galvanized mast crutch from a local trailer builder, but I don't know if 5' will clear the bow pulpit while the boat is on the trailer. Thanks!
