Can any ZX225 owners who trailer their boat let me know the total length?

[skeetzx225]

I only trailer my boat in/out of the water once a year spring/fall, so I can't measure it myself right now and i'm buying a house soon and want to know how much garage space I would need to store my boat in. I have a 2003 ZX225 with 225 HPDI and the trailer does NOT have a swing away tongue. If anyone knows the total length from back of motor to tip of non swing away trailer, I would appreciate letting me know.

I just grabbed this off Skeeter site, but am curious if it's what you got?

Length on Trailer 26'6"

Thanks!

My garage is 25'W x 30'D. When my boat is inside with the motor down, I have maybe 2' of clearance. I wouldn't advise you to go less than 30' deep so you at least have some room to maneuver around the boat.

P.S. - 2005 ZX225 w/ 225 HPDI

I have a 3 car garage, but I don't think it's 30" deep...I bet I could angle it a bit though..Swing away tongues should be standard equipment on a high end bassboat! WTF!

I managed to get a ZX 250 with a swing away tongue in my garage and it is exactly 20'... of course it is a 3 car garage and it is angled, but where there is a will there is a way...

I just measured mine, I have a 2004 ZX225/225HPDI. I do not have a swing away tougue, and the total length is 27ft 11inches. Hope this helps. This was measured with the motor in the up postion with the trasom saver on it. From tip of prop to front tip of trailer.

I was able to measure my trailer this weekend and it was 23 feet long from front/back. Add another 3.5 feet with the motor down + jackplate length and 26"6 looks to be about right. Thanks guys! now to see how I can make it fit....
