Default Will it fit

Short question, would a 31-33' Formula fit under a 8' garage door? Thanks
Jerry

I have a 302 that has a higher windshield than that boat. I am at about 9' on the trailer. I have about 1/2 inch btwn the swim pad and the bottom of the oil pan when I pull the engine That is with a 11'8" door.

No, it is the standard 7' tall. But there is enough room to move the header up 1 ft for an 8'r

Short answer, No.Our 312 on a Prestige trailer is 8'6". If you get real creative on a special built trailer with low profile tires,dropped axles,etc.,maybe but it will be tough.

SO, if I back it in real hard, it WILL fit? Then all other times after that, no problem.

Thanks for the replies, looks like will need to stay with the other "F"

'97 312 tri axle trailer .....9 foot door opening. A breeze with my 252SS, but I have to use an 11 inch drop hitch to get 1 inch clearance for the windshield!! That's with 1/2 tank of gas or more in the boat and a F150 Supercrew 4X4....kinda high. A 12" drop hitch let's the trailer float free on the tripps, nothing needed under the tongue to hold it up!! Scary when backing it in the garage. No way can it make a 7 or 8 foot door without pulling the windshield!!

fill it with gas and if it is still close then let out a little air from the tires.
