Location: Kildeer, IL | I'm looking at getting a new boat, and this is on my short list.
Can someone tell me what the dimensions of this boat are on the trailer? (150 HP engine) Motor trimmed up.
I have 3 single stall garage doors. Each stall is 106" wide and 23 feet deep. The motor would have to remain trimmed up becuase there is a step up at the back of the garage that is about 4 feet wide. |

| You will not fit with your motor trimmed up even if you have a break away tongue. With my 1850 with a suzi 140, I have it all the way down in my garage (standard dimmensions except 1 18 ft. door) and the tongue broke and I have maybe an inch or two when the door comes down. Good luck great rig though. If I get time tonight, I get it measured up for ya. |

Location: Kildeer, IL | I didn't know there were standard dimensions for a garage. I've had 20', 19', 22', and 23' deep garages. What is the standard depth?
I guess I could have someone come out and cut away the step up in that area. That way I could trim the motor down. |

Location: Hopefully on the water | Why not have the dealership measure it out for you with the tongue broke away and the motor trimmed up (x") to get it over your step? Personally I think you are going to be tight. If I rember correctly whenn I had my 1750 fishhawk with the trailer the width of it was at its widest point 102". I had the benefit of being able to go through a double door to get in and out of the garage. |

Location: Kildeer, IL | I tried that route, but the dealer I contacted didn't have any in stock. I guess I will have to continue to contact dealers.
I should have enough width. The 1850 is only .5" wider than the 1750.
I'm not set on the 1850 either. If the 1 foot shorter 1750 is the only boat that will fit, then I will have to go with that. |

| Sorry for the misunderstanding. My garage length is approx. 21'6" and with the boat on the trailer and motor all the way down and tongue broke, boat is approx 21'. I measured the boat on the trailer and I was by myself, but I believe it was basically 8' wide on my shorelandr trailer.
Hope that helps

Location: Kildeer, IL | Thanks Reuk. You're more responsive then the dealers!
The boat sounds like it will fit. I may have to cut a chunk of concrete out of the back in order to trim the motor down, but that shouldn't be a big issue.
Now if I could just find a used one. They seem to sell within the first couple of days of being on the market (unless they are overpriced). |
