| Out of curiosity, with the swing tongues on boats, how short do they actually get. Looking at say a tuffy 1700c, X170 or Alumacraft Classic for example? Try to figure what might fit or if I need to find other storage options. Thanks for your help. BR |

I have a navigator 165 CS with a swing tongue on it and I can fit it in a 21 foot garage without issue. The boat itself has a 4" set back plate on it as well. The trailer is a shorelander 2300 pound, and the tongue swing is roughly 18 inches. I had about a foot between the garage door and the trailer.
My previous boat was an alumacraft lunker V16 LTD with a 1700 pound trailer without a swing tongue. That one fit as well. with about the same amount of room.
I think you should be o.k with a swing tongue

| My garage is 20ft 6in. My tuffy 1700 with the tongue "collapsed" comes in at right around 19ft 3in. I used to have a tuffy magnum(it was on a 1994 trailer with no swingable tongue) and I had to angle it a little bit to get in to fit in the garage. I would say the tongue saves you a bit more than a foot. |
