    Xpress boat widths..

    New to the forum.. Looking at some xpress boats and I'm trying to fit one into the garage.. Anyone have an exact measurement of the widest part of the 95" beam boats including the trailer. I'm really wanting to get the h18 to fit but I think it will be to wide.

    Thanks for your help.

    Before I set up my two car garage to park mine I kept it at a storage with a drive through unit that was 101in at the door and it fit with a few inches of room. also you need 23ft 2 in of depth if it is straight in.

    Thanks for your response.. I thinks it's just a little to wide.. It looks like I will be needing an h17 or an xp180, unless I can find a used h56.. The 56 is a little narrower. I wish they still made that size...

    I have a 2006 x19 sitting on a 2015 trailer. From outside rub rail to rub rail it measures 93" and widest point of trailer, outside fender to outside fender is 95". I just went out and measured it.

    Thank you for taking that measurement! I'm thinking I might be able to squeeze the width in after all.

    You might be surprised with a single axle trailer how easy you can put the trailer in at an angle toward the wall in your garage and get more room between the boat trailer and your wife car. I had to do with for a while at a house I rented and it worked great when I thought there was no way I could fit both a car and boat in the same door opening.

    Sounds like it's time for me to find an h18 or x18 and get some exact length measurements I'm thinking it will be around 20'4" with swing away and motor dropped and turned.

    How much trailer do you think you have sticking out past the front of the boat?

    Right at 27" from tip of boat to tip of tongue. For my trailer if I put a hinge on it to make it a swing away you might gain a foot .
