203 length on the trailer???

[stumpjumper1]

I'm offshore right now and my wife is looking at a house and I'm trying to figure out if my 203 will fit in the garage. Anyone know how long it is sitting on the trailer with the tongue in and motor trimmed down?

08 brochure says 24'1" with motor down and tongue folded...'06 brochure says 24'9". '05 brochure says 23'7".

I have no idea what to tell you!

mine is a '03

Don't forget to add for a plate if equipped. A 30 garage will work just fine.

?? about the length, but my 202 fits in my 29' garage with no swing away tounge.
I can even walk behind it with the motor up on transom saver, could walk buy it with ease if i would take down the peg board, and all the baits behind it.
But who wants to do that??

I have an 8" plate.

'03 brochure for the 203 says....26'10"....but they were not allowing for swing away tongue...and not sure about jack plate.

Sounds about right without jackplate. My 03 does not have a swing away tongue, but I don't know if they are all that way.

Mine is a 2000 with jack plate 25'1"

23-8 on mine...

Retractable tongue was an option in 2003. They came standard with a 10" manual jackplate, so the listed length on trailer should include that. But then again, I have seen mis-prints before..

My 201 was about 25' with the motor down. That's with a 6" plate and no fold away tougue.

I know my 202 is close to 27 feet without the tongue folded.

thanks for all the replies. the house we're looking at has a single garage that is 23'9" that i guess the boat might fit in - but it doesn't face the street and would be tough to snake in there with the driveway layout. there's also a two car garage that faces the street but isn't deep enough. i would be able to get it in there pretty easy but i'd have to stick it in there diagonally. decisions.....
