Ideas for fitting my boat in my gargage.

I love my 176 but the trailer design is HORRIBLE. Half the reason for getting a smaller boat is to be able to fit it in a smaller garage. The trailer destroys any chance of that happening. Beyond that, it cant easily be modified into a swing tongue either. I've gotten quotes from welders and I might as well pay them to build me a new trailer.

There is an additional 3' of unnecessary trailer on this beast.




My garage will not fit it length wise, and it is also 6" too wide. It doesn't have the removable swim platform brackets and I would gladly buy them if it would make a difference. Unfortunately, I'd still run out of room.

The older trailers will fit and the 176 is only listed at 2200lbs in the reference section.

Tim, I trust your judgment. Do you still think the 176 would be too heavy for the older trailers?

I would keep the original trailer for long haul stuff and just use the #3 for local boating.
