Garage Clearance

Member Posts: 6 Comments: 0 Joined: 02/07/09	What is the vertical garage opening and depth necessary to accommodate a 2006 Montauk 170 CC with a Karavan trailer and swing-away tongue. Stated differently, what is the height above ground of the boat on the trailer and the oveall length of the rig? If I already owned the boat, I could do the measurements myself, but at the moment I'm considering a purchase and would prefer not to trust a saleman's measurments or buy a boat that may not fit my garage. Thanks for the guidance.

For length: Typically, it is the LOA of the hull, plus 2 feet for the engine in the tilted down position + 3' for the trailer. I would say 23' front to back. For height, a 7' door height will work. If tight, you can lower the bow to have the console rail clear the door and then raise it back up. 1992 Outrage 17 I 2019 E-TEC 90, Viper 17 2+ 2018 Load Rite Elite 18280096VT

It will clear a 7' door, You can stand next to the boat on the trailer and estimate the height or bring the tape measure and measure it yourself. Use a adjustable front trailer wheel and crank it up or down to adjust the height.
