I think that is a Metcraft. Just by looking at the mounts/releases and the tow hook you can tell. It should have a Metcraft sticker on it.

It definitely looks like a Metcraft. As for the 7' door clearance, that depends a lot on the trailer it's sitting on. I believe that tower folds down to the same height as the windshield. I think it's going to be a tight squeeze.Cursed by a fortune cookie: "Your principles mean more to you than any money or success."

That is a metcraft. Same tower I had on my 2002 20V. Bimini is a nightmare. Folded down my tower was 6'11 3/4 inches. I had less than 1/4 inch clearance for my 7 foot garage. On hot days i had to let some air out of my tires to get it in the garage. My boat came with a tube for the tower to rest on when folded down. It actually sat higher than 7 feet when on the support. I would rest the tower on life vests until in the garage and then lift it to put the support tube underneth it, Need to be careful if it is above 7 feet pulling out. I got one of the tower legs caughtbetween the garage and garage door. Pain in the but to get it out.Let it be!!!

I have that same tower on my 21v which is a metcraft and it folds down easily enough to get into a 7' garage door. They are kind of OK towers, not the best or the worst, the worst would be the ironing boart type metcraft that came on the 01's and before because they were prone to breaking. Have not heard of there being a problem with these breaking.
Good luck!

I actually think that this tower is more sturdy than my current Metcraft. Still the bad parts on this tower are the board racks on top and the bimini. As far as the 7 foot garage you really need to measure and test due to the variables between the different model boats and trailersLet it be!!!
