Default Who has a 42' Lightning w/ #6's??

I currently have a 35' Lightning but will have a 42'er w/ #6's once I have my house built. I want to make sure it will fit in my garage, as we are in the design phase right now. Can someone tell me how long this boat is on the trailer and also how tall it is to the top of the windshield? I would greatly appreciate it!

Thank you!!!

I would shoot for 50' inside finished (allow for thick insulated door) with 10' door. Always nice to have a little extra room. Mine is 52' inside finished with 10' x 18' doors R9 insulation.

I only have 10' ceilings because the garage is in my basement. I am hoping a 9' door will do.

So 46' is all the longer it is on the trailer? It just seems like those drives stick so far back and you also have the tongue that sticks past the nose.

Thank you for your replies.

Mine with XR's was 44' on a Myco. Drives down. We measured it with my winter storage guy. I gave you 2' for 6's.

Just 1 post, other's here will chime in.

My garage is 47' 4" inside dimensions. 9' door will probably work. Mine is 10' tall and can be pulled out with hatches up. I have to trim drives all the way down or it won't fit. About 47' sitting on 2011 myco with drive tucked all the way down. You will need 50' or you won't be happy. Already had garage before I bought boat-had to modify the metal wall (bow it out) to make it fit without adding onto garage.
