Subject: Re: Ranger Rig & a 9' Garage door




Location: Green Bay, WI
Problem is that I really can't get a bigger garage door--the building is already framed for a 9x8' door. But like I said, the boat pretty much only has to go into the building once in the fall, and come out once in the spring. During the fishing season I will put it in the other garage. But things will be tight to be sure--like 2-3" clearance per side tight.

Forgot to say--we have pushed it around in the attached garage a bit. It actually surprised me in that it rolled easier than the Lund rig I had several years ago. It's certainly not light though, so that's maybe were the ball hitch on my lawnmower comes into play.



EDIT: Just got off the phone with the framing guy who says it's not too late to just go wider. We'll have to make a new header, but it's pretty straightforward--and much easier to do it now rather than later. So I guess I'll just go out to a 10' door, although the angle will still make it challenging to back the boat in with the truck.

Thanks for the input though guys, definitely helpful.

TB
