Just curious which BassCat models on a dual axle trailer might one look at for a 22' garage? Garage is single width w/9'w x 7'h door (actual clear dimensions are 22'-6" deep w/ 8'-9" wide x 6'-9" tall clear opening at door).
Figuring 22' total length would allow me straight back parking with a few inches buffer. I'm thinking prob the Sabre FTD, PII, P-Classic are the options.
Thx
The Caracal with a swing away tongue is 21' 10".
If you go to basscat.com, and look at the boats, click on the model you are interested in, then click on the "Model Info" button on the bottom, it will provide you with minimum storage length details.
Saw those dimensions on the Caracal. Wonder what the new engines do to those dimensions? The old ProXS looks like the tightest engine to the transom. The SHO, new ProXS and G2's looks longer.
Good point. If that turns out to be the case I would get a PII. It's an awesome boat.

I was in a similar situation with one of our previous houses. I had a two car garage that was 22 on one side and 18 on one side. A local dealer at that time let me try a boat in the spot, I drug a few home. The PII just did fit, I mean barely, so I ended up with a Sabre FTD at that time. I’d see if you can get a dealer to let you try a Pantera. Cats web site used to say a Yamaha added 4” over the Merc.
If you have room behind the back wall of your garage, you might consider adding a dog house to accommodate the motor. The inside depth of my garage is 20' 11" and due to the awesome way in which BCB minimizes trailer length (with a swing tongue of course), I am able to get my 20' 4" Cougar AE backed straight in (after adding the dog house). Just make the dog house wide enough in case you plan to have power poles or talons.
I get my puma FTD with swing tongue in 23 feet total with about 4 inches on both ends...I have to angle it a bit..

I have a 22' 5" deep double garage and park a P2 with a Pro XS (2013) straight in one side. Its pretty tight but I would say it fits well. I can walk around the bow most of the time.

You can turn the motor all the way to one side and make a 4" longer Yamaha fit where a 2stroke proxs was measured from. I'd but the biggest one you want and if required slap on a dog house.
Mercury 250 proxs 2B115089
The measurements are minimized including turning the wheel.
I got my caracal in a 20x20 garage with a merc and atlas plate with it angled in there. 22' should be no problem depending on garage door width and ability to angle the boat
