Patricia and I are looking at new houses this weekend. Got to sign the P&S by 4/30 for the $6,500 tax credit. My SN2001 is currently stored at my parents house for the winter. A big must for me is a garage large enough for the boat.
Does anyone have any idea the length of a Ski Nautique 2001 from tongue to end of platform? Plan B will be a replacement trailer with a swing-away front piece. How much room is saved with that type of trailer? How much does a new trailer cost? By the way, I have a 3 bedroom, 2 bath townhouse up for rent 35 miles west of Boston if anyone is interested. Ken |

My 85 2001, it is on a Magnum trailer with no swivel away at the front, my stall that I rent for it, it sits perfectly in a 10 by 20. I have about 1 ft left after I shut the garage door down. Hope this helps for ya..

Ken,
Just measured my 83 SN. You are looking at about 24'. That is from the tip of the trailer hitch to the back of the platform. |

Thanks for the quick response, guys! You both gave me the information I was looking for. I'll bring my tape measure with me.

You better check that tape measure. Did you ever break it, and then overlap it and tape it together? I can't see an '85 2001 fitting in a 10'x20' storage unit. |

Yea, ditto on the 24' at the very least.
Neighbors 24' garage. There '89 on a #3 won't fit in square. Has to be diagonal to shut the door. |

My 85 won't fit in 24' garage, not square, I can take the platform off. I did see on the 2001 website where someone made a rig to slide the platform off and on quickly

It must depend on how the boat is on the trailer. My 88 is in the garage all most straight in and the bay is 24' long. I have the removeable platform installed on the boat but I rarely use it.
I do know that you can buy the kit here on the site to modify yours if the new garage is a couple of feet short. |

Dan, I did see the thread over on 2001. Unless you have lots of time and the equipment handy, I suggest purchasing comercially made quick disconnect brackets. The other benefit is they are anodized. He never mentioned having his homemade brackets anodized. He will have problems down the road - opps, lake!!! |

Ken - When I designed the garage on my addition, I went with 25'-0" inside in case I wanted to put the '84' in there.

My dad's 88 fits in his 26' garage with about 2 feet to spare from what I can recall.

Our 85 fits in our current garage at 24ft with 4 inches to spare.
Building a new garage in total that will have 30ft deep, and a double bay door 18ft wide x 10ft high and a 10 x 10 door too. So I can fit both boats in with ease. The other bay will have an engine hoist built in that bay if we ever had to pull out an engine or anything. Good luck Ken and Patricia on house hunting, also make sure the garage is big enough for your future Ski Nautique 200 LOL. -Phil |

Thanks for all the feedback! Every home we're scheduled to see has a two car garage. It sounds like 25' is the magic number. Worse case scenario, I'll get the trailer with the swing arm.
If I owned the 200, I'd park it in my formal dining room and buff it all day and night. I'd never leave the house! Ken |

This is one that we're looking at. There are no good garage shots.

Nice house there Ken, hows the turn around though to be able to back it up into the garage?

We'll need to get a closer look today. I would hate to have to back up that driveway each and every time. Not sure the transmission would appreciate that. My biggest concern is fitting the entire boat and trailer inside. It will be a great day to be out kicking foundations!

I hope its a single door and not doubles. Mine won't fit in the basement garage cause it's an 8 ft door. The trailer is too wide.

I caught the 8' on the paperwork right before my guy left. He was leaving to go fax all my dimensions in. My garage walls were prefabbed. I would have a big un-useable garage.

If maneuvering in a tight driveway is a issue, you can also consider a front mounted hitch Before they where commercially available, I would fabricate my own for all my tow vehicles. I found out how convenient they were working at the marina back in the late 60's. No point in passing up a nice house just because the drive is tight for a trailer.
