Your garage door opening. My dad did but when I went to back it in, no way, only 1.5" clearance on each side. I'm good but not that good. A bigger boat would not go in there.

I hear ya! My 16 footer just fits. I'll need to build a new garage if I decide to buy the Muskie edition!

Good tip Toddola, especially for those in the real estate business...when looking for that new home, one should make sure the garage will house your boat, + is a question the agent should ask a potential buyer also. Most peeps realize that our spouses need to be made aware of the boats value in a relationship + that a major purchase such as a home needs to be included at the top of the list. Unlike many of you, I am in comeplete control of the sponge family + need not deal w/ this problem! [:0] [;)]

35 x 35 garage with a 20 foot and 10 foot door. This will solve all your problems with fit. I can even park my boat crossways along the back in the winter.

M1,

My house would fit in your garage! 4 more years, and I'm oughta mine. Heading north. Wife already knows. I don't look at no house if it doesn't have a.) a minimum 3 1/2 car, deep, garage, or b.) land to build a shop to house my toys and tools.

My boat fits in my garage straight now. I got a 16' door. Problem is that with the dog kennels, and my yard tools, I've only got enough room for the ATV. Car and truck sits outside untill the boat is stored for the winter.

Tight Lines,

Shep
