Length on Trailer: 29 OL, 30 OL, 302
Well I'm ready to upgrade. Will be looking at 29 outlaws, 30 outlaws and 302s. Preference is a newer 30 OL, maybe 2006/7 vintage.
Need one of those three to fit in the new garage which is 37' long inside. Any help with measurements from tip of tongue to tip of prop (drives up) on the trailer would be great!
Thanks everyone!

From another thread in this section:
Boat plus 7 feet is a good solid & conservative number to go by.
Aluminum bolt-together trailers are typically longer than welded steel or welded aluminum trailers.
Surge brakes adds about 1' foot to overall length due to the coupler.
ITS drives or stand off boxes will add to that, as much as 12 inches.
You should be OK. If not, you may be able to cheat a little by sliding up on the trailer, or perhaps upgrading to EoH brakes and shortening the tongue a bit.
A neighbor had a special trailer built so he could fit is 30 Outlaw in his garage, which was 34-ish feet I believe. It had a really short tongue to where the bow was pretty much over the trailer jack/foot.

This may help a little my 33 Outlaw on a Manning Marine aluminum trailer is 42'-6". The trailer does have a drive guard which is basically about 8" past the drives when they are in the up position. It will depend on trailer manufacturer also because some trailers have longer tongues than others. Hope this helps you some.

Thanks Sydwayz - I remember that from another thread, but I'd like to get a couple real numbers from owners since I don't know of any local 30 OLs or 302s.
soundwave - I'm considering going to look at that one, I like the colors, but there are a couple things on that boat I don't like as well...

Thanks bajario52 and 92nsx, these are the numbers I'm looking for.
Any 302 numbers from anyone?
If a 30 OL or 302 won't fit in the garage then I'm going to get a 335 and just keep it on a hoist or rack.

There are also a few cheats you can do. Installing EoH brakes can save you a foot sometimes, plus it makes for a better tow.
Others have put a little "doghouse" on the back of their garage to allow the drives/swim platform to extend into.
This is a friend's solution at his summer place:
