| I've got a 620 FS with a v-rod and it needs a 26' garage with the tongue folded and motor trimmed down. |

Location: Kodiak, AK | Depending on year, I'm on a 620 hull and I think I remember measuring mine at needing 25' with a swing away tongue. Mine is the 225-rated 620 hull. |

| My garage is 24ft deep as is most garages built. Best to measure the garage you want to put a 619 or 620 in to be sure what your working with. I have a 2008 620vs Ranger with a fold away tongue, Evinrude 250HO outboard with a 8 inch jackplate and a Minnkota EM 101 trolling motor that sticks out 9 inches behind the cavitation plate . I have a 3 stall garage the wife uses the single side for her suv and I use the 2 stall side for the boat. It fits at a angle with a few inches to spare. One of best things they ever did was to put folding tongues on trailers or a lot of guys could not get the length of boat they wanted because of their garage depth. Also I move back my bow mount trolling motor and I lower the big outboard and kicker outboard down and turn it so I can shut the garage door. Measure the boat you want to put in the garage and see exactly how long the boat is, because you know all boats are different. |

| Thanks for all the feedback everybody. Ironically I'm approaching the house hunt from the perspective of what boat i want in 2-3 years. Priorities lol |

Location: Contrarian Island | as important is garage door width.... many garage doors are 8' wide, 96"... having a 9', 10', or larger width where you back your boat is in awesome... I built my boat stall with a 12' wide door...after backing my Ranger into my old garage with barely any room on each side you'll be happy if you have a wider door than standard. |

Location: Hayward, WI | Good call on the door width Brad. My old Alumacraft had an 82 or 83 inch beam. I think my Tuffy has an 84 or 85 inch beam so I figured it would fit with no trouble. Didn't account for the 1760 trailer being so wide. When I first came home I thought I was in trouble as at a distance it didn't look like it would fit. Luckily my 9 foot doors give me around 3 inches of space on each fender if I'm centered in the door. Not a lot of wiggle room but it's enough. If I had an 8 foot door I would have been in trouble. A 10-16 foot door would be a lot more convenient! |

| Will be picking up a 2013 Ranger 620 with 250 verado. My question is if I have a 21 x 21 garage will it fit if i angle the boat and turn the verado to one side? |

Location: Otsego, MN | It will be really tight... Will most definitely need to have a swinging hitch.
I have a 2001 Ranger 619 and my garage is 23'D x 30' feet wide. It takes up all of the two car large door area. What really makes it tricky is the width of the boat in the back as well. Its not the easiest to just angle it with the motor perfectly in the corner because the back is wide enough that its tight to the back wall also. I would highly advise you to get a friend with a 621 to try getting it to fit or cutting out of boxes or take chalk and draw how it will fit on the floor.
