I'm running a 38" tall platform over my GTR 35 and have plenty of clearance over my aftermarket carb which raised the motor height a few inches. I like the height, but probably could have gotten away with 34" which would make it easier to get on an off and you could use a little bit shorter push pole(I use a 22'). Those heights are measured from the transom. |

The GDSD is roughly 4" to 5" taller than your LT.... What measurement do you want mine is handy ??? On my GD lo transom - 50" from floor to bottom of platform 35" from transom to bottom of platform - note platform is also made to work with tall transom - so there is more clearance than needed on the lo or std transom design.... 1" square tubing is below the bottom of the platform so deduct 1" when calculating clearance |
