Location: Waukee, IA | I have searched til my eyes have bulged out....can anyone tell me the actual length of a 1760 Tiller on the trailer, motor down, swing away tongue opened. Trying to find a 17' class fiberglass boat to fit in my garage. Right now, looking like Backtrollers are my best option but wanted to explore all options. Only have 19' of usable space....according to my wife!
Also, how wide TOTAL on the trailer?
Thanks for the help in advance. |

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | 21'2" with the motor trimmed down and swing tongue open. If you are looking at a 17.5' boat, it's going to be tough to keep it 19' and under. |

| I also saw the Backtroller at the Mpls Boat Show and it said 19 foot storage length. But if the hull is 17 1/2 that only leaves 18 inches of additional room for swing tongue and depth of motor. Even with motor turned to the side... hard to believe it would be within 19 feet. I'd want to put a tape measure on that before purchasing. Can't believe a Tuffy 1760 would be much different...but I could be missing something here... ?? |
