Looking for a boat that will fit in garage.

[08champ188]

I am in the market for a new to me boat. Looking for boat brands and models that will fit in my garage straight in not angled in, wife needs to use garage too. Garage is 22.87 ft in length taking in account garage door. I currently have a Ranger 188 VS with a 150 Pro XS . I am hoping to get a boat with a 175 -200 hp motor. I see a lot of 20Ft. Boats out there . What do you all have out there that would fit my garage so I can shop accordingly.

A 20 footer will not fit. My shop has almost 25 feet in the clear. My 20XD has to be at a slight angle.

My garage is 23' wall to inside door brace. An 18 1/2' with swing away tongue would barely fit according to the manufacturers length measurements. I think the overall length of a 20' plus motor, plus trailer won't make it. My boat is a 17 1/2' swing away tongue, and I clear my door by about 1', motor touching the back wall.

Basscat Pantera II will just barely fit and the Sabre will easily fit.

I have a 21' deep garage- on the dot. I bought a Triton 189trx, and it just fits. If I add a jack plate, I will have to angle slightly.

My Ranger 188VS which is all most 19Ft. Fits nicely but only has. A 150 HP Pro XS so wanting a boat that can handle 175 - 200 Hp. I know a Ranger Z 518C has the Hp power rating I like but are Very very hard to find. Was hoping too broaden search with other boat brands That are similar to the Z518 C I only mentioned 20 ft boats cuz they seem to be so many.

The Triton 189 trx can handle a 175, the 18trx, a 200. Those are the two I'm familiar with, as I just bought a 189 with a 150. I'm not sure how many are out there in inventory, but several of both with max horsepower were available when i was shopping a couple months ago. Phoenix and Nitro I believe had 18 footers that would handle 175's. I was interested in a basscat sabre, but could not find a single one to look at within several hours of me. I'm sure that I'm leaving a few out, but it's a start.

I know that some builders list lengths on trailer with tongue folded and some do not. It can vary by jackplate and motor combination. I called dealers to get a real world measurement.

Charger 186 with a 175

You're right in that zone where some 19's and 20' will fit, and some won't. My old garage was 23'2", and my Stratos 200 had about a foot clearance between garage door/wall. I was looking at buying a new BassCat Caracal and concluded it would fit.

I have a 2019 Triton 18 TRX w/200 Merc 4s I have been kicking the idea around of selling.

Basscat Pantera II will just barely fit and the Sabre will easily fit.

P2 will for sure fit, my garage is 22'1" to the lip on the inside of the garage door and I could back in straight, leave about an inch between the motor and the wall and I would have about 3" at the front. I had an 8" bobs also.

[Nailbender8]

Mine would fit.

[08champ188]

Mine would fit.

What kind of speed are you getting out for f that 175 Hp ?jackplate ? Prop size?

[greg88]

That woul be ok for my basscat cougar with the Motor down and tongue folded

I am not sure that would fit. Bass Cat lists 23’2” as minimum storage with tongue folded.

[shrimper]

What is the maximum width of garage door opening?

[BassCatBrad]

BassCat PII... Awesome boat

[go phish]

Nitro Z18, 175 pro xs, 6" jackplate, folded tongue fits in a 21' garage on a slight angle with about 2" to spare

[buster502]

i have a 2005 triton tr196 with fold away trailer tongue i think will fit with a 200 optimax,come and get it bring big stack of cash lol

plenty of 19 ft boats just go look. That's bound be pretty close to us max length. Usually you add 3ft to boat length and that will be close to package length with a swing away tongue.
