| It will definitely be close, I just upgraded from a 14' to a 16' as well. I store mine in my basement since it is on a slope. I had to make the doors bigger, the opening is now 8'-0". When I backed the trailer in it had 3-4" on each side (wheels are the widest point).
My boat has a 6'-0" transom but what is going to govern here is the trailer. My wheels barely fit through but it went. If it is just for the winter, you can probably bring the crank close to the tongue and pull the boat farther up on the trailer, giving you more room in the back.
As stated before, turn the motor all the way to the side, make sure you drop it down before you back all the way in, that will save some space too. You could always take the motor off for the winter and store it in the corner (assuming winter storage).
Biggest space killer will be the motor and the tongue on the trailer (along to with the width). When you go look at the boat, just bring a tape measure and see what will fit. Good luck, I can't wait to see the difference on the water b/w the 14' & 16' boats! | |
