Thanks for all of the replies. I was hoping to put the boat in the detached garage I have, garage at the house isn't deep enough, detached one is 24w x 28d so that's why I was shooting for the 223, only thing that has me worried is the height to get it in the door so I would have to measure height on the trailer. I started looking 2 years ago for a 242 and was going to pull the trigger on it until it failed the inspection so I put my search on hold and have just been using my dads checkmate. Now I really want to find one. If the height doesn't fit in the door then I would for sure be looking for a 242 ls or my favorite, a 292 sr1. I took a ride in a 272 with big blocks and it seemed to rear heavy, I loved the 311 but its too much to be towing around. Thanks again for the help, I have been searching everywhere but you never find all the local ones that people on here might know about.

You will need about 8-1/2 feet of open garage door height to get your boat in. I was able to et my 242 in my garage with 8 foot high door, because I have a sloped driveway which kept the coupler of the trailer low as compared to the garage floor. this allowed the top of the windshield to just fit in the door opening.
If you had a trailer with a swing-away tongue, then you could probably get a 242 in a 28 foot garage with a 9 foot high door.

That`s a nice 242 in Cleveland a little high in price but you never know BBC and bolsters great set up.
