I believe we are talking about a 35 foot Catalina, with flybridge, right?  If so, then it MAY be an Oversize-Load.  Did they SAY, "SMALL WINDSCREEN", ON  FLYBRIDGE, OR FLYBRIDGE ITSELF, MUST BE REMOVED?   If transport company is saying the LOWER HELM (Salon) WINDSHIELD, then I don't understand why.  It would leave the salon open to the elements, unless covered.  Perhaps they are concern road-debris could damage windshield.  But I NEVER seen a boat commercially transported, on the highway, WITHOUT a windshield.  Just my thoughts.  Suggest, look for another transporter, for another opinion.

All the transport companys told me that she needed to be 12'6" or less. If I am thinking this right...the bridge clearance is 10'8" and the draft is 2"10" which makes 13'6". Sound right?
