Not saying. 17,5' won't handle it. But boats can sit outside with a tarp. Done this for 20 years after a hailstorm got the truck, boats handle hail like nothing. It's only annoying in the winter with snow, you need to move it off. Or take 2 sheets of play wood and a few 2x4s. Garages do shrink up a lot I have a 20' boat with swing tounge in a 30' garage and there is only 18" each end give or take. 10"jack plate doesn't help. I have got it in a 27' garage but to squeeze behind it I had the motor turned to the side all the way. I'm saying a better deal may be out there on a 19-20' boat. I'm a firm believer in buy the best boat deal wise and worry about storage and a truck to pull it later.
