Gotcha, taking any motor off after every time parking a boat would be a pain, even a trolling motor!

I believe the width kind of depends on the the age/type of the boat. There are some 16'ers that seem more like row boats that are narrower and others that come with console (single or dual) which seem to be quite a bit wider.

Ex- 2013 Lund Rebel 1650 XL(single or dual console): Boat/Motor/Trailer Length - Storage	19' 1"

Boat/Motor/Trailer Width	7' 8"

2013 Tracker Guide 16's (tiller setup) storage length: 18', storage width: 6'-8"

The Lund would be the maximum size for your garage (my buddy has this exact boat-super nice) but I have been backing boats into tight spots for a few years and it is a pain.

The tracker would fit comfortably, and I think you can get Jon boats that are fairly narrow too.

So now the question becomes what type of boat are you looking for and what are you looking to do with it?

Strictly fishing or a little bit of pleasure boating mixed in?  Casting or trolling? Tiller or console? Aluminum or fiberglass? New or used?  Best advice I have is to not settle and say you will upgrade later because you will kick yourself all the time and bring a tape when you go to look at the boats and "add a few inches" to the length and width.

Thanks for the info,  I have actually looked at a couple of the tracker boats.  I would use the boat for strictly fishing, mostly casting but some trolling, probably tiller to provide more space but not too opposed to console, Aluminum as I would like to keep it under 3000 lbs based on the vehicle I am towing with, Used based on the money I would like to spend.  I am saving up every penny possible and am hoping to spend $4,000 to $5,000.[/QUOTE]
