    Oops.....

    Is the garage too narrow or too short and by how much. Might not take much to get it to fit.

    What I was about to ask!! When I bought my 20ft 3" Ranger, it would not fit in my shop. It was either I had to add onto my shop or get a swinging tounge added to the trailer. I went with getting a local steel working shop to add the swinging tounge. It was a bit pricey,($500.00) but still cheaper than adding onto the shop. It was five years ago when I had it done and it is still going strong!!

    Welcome to Clarksville land of small garages.

    I had the house we are leasing there listed as "will hold a 20' boat" for over a year and not one person looked at it with a boat, at least no feedback on the garage. A 20 footer would have fit, nothing else but the boat would have fit. A garage like that is hard to find in Clarksville unless you get a basement house OR build an out building. If you live in Sango most places won't allow outdoor boat storage.

    I'd start checking out rental storage areas and invest in a good lock or make friends with a farmer somewhere.

    I live in the Willow Bend subdivision in Clarksville. The garages here are usually big enough for a boat but mine sits outside covered so my wife's charriot can go inside the garage. There are some storage places that will store it for you at a price of course.

    Did you not measure before buying?????

    Give these guys a try. They list boat storage and show wide doors with lots of runway.

    If nothing else buy a good cover and store outdoors....been there as well.
