    Moving skeeter trailer in garage, help

    I have a 97 skeeter 202 on a dual axle trailer. To my best measuring it is 26ft on the trailer. My new house has a garage that is 24ft long. It is a bear trying to maneuver the dual axle trailer into the garage to make it fit. I have to back the trailer at an angle and then push the tongue of the trailer to the side to make it fit. This process, like I said, is a bear! Are there any tricks to this to make the job any easier?

    I have an 18' boat and trailer with tandem axle and that' exactly how i get mine in the garage. Beside spend lots of money on those rolling floor jacks, i don't know if there is an easy way. Of course i don't fish that much but i see what your saying.

    Could you take the transome support off, trim the motor down and turn the motor, it might make a difference.

    You can get some linoleum piece. Put them upside down and place them so the tires stop on them. When you pull the tongue over the linoleum will slide on the concrete alot easier than the tires.

    You can also use 1/8 masonite.
