Location: West Metro, MN | You really will only know once you put it in the garage. I looked for almost a year for the right 16-17' boat at the right price to fit into my garage at the time, which was 19'8" if i recall. I ended up buying a Mr. Pike 16 with a 90HP Yamaha on it that I couldn't be happier with, but one of the conditions of the sales was that it had to fit in my garage with with the wife's car in it. The seller agreed to trailer it to my house and I angled it in with about 1 inch to spare. By angling it just right i picked up at least 8" of extra trailer length that made the difference. I also endued up putting a hole in the drywall in the back of the garage that gave me another 3" of wiggle room. If you are buying from a private seller who is somewhat local ask them to trailer it to your house and make sure it fits, just make sure that you indicate to them that you are serious about buying it so they won't be wasting their time and that you have the funds ready to go if you do come to an agreement that day. |
