Im in that situation right now,
I have a 10' x 16' door on the 22' x 56' garage and I bought a new truck camper that does not fit by like 2".
So I am adding a 22' x 32' addition with a 12' door and 14'6" ceiling so i can install a 2 post lift in the future.
I would have built larger if it was not for regulations

baja 342, Powerquest 380, formula 382?


i would think a 8-9 foot door?.. would somone like to messure for me?

I have a 9 foot tall door and my 32 AT fits easily. My boat is about the same height as a 38 TG.
The windshield on some of the boats you listed may add some height though. I would go with a 10ft high to be safe.
I actually would have done 10 ft on mine, except the location of a beam would not let the door open more than 9' anyway.

100 variables.
Tire size
Wheel size
Torsion or leaf
Lifted truck, tires, wheels
Flat land or hill
Pavement or gravel driveway (you can scoop gravel out of the driveway so the rear truck tires dip low just as the windscreen clears a door).
And different boats sit on different trailers at different angles.

I'm finishing the interior of a 30 x 56 garage now. It's a detached in the back yard on a .35 ac lot.

15 ft walls with two 12w x 14t doors. I figure if I can get it down the highway I can get it in that building!!!!
FWIW: my previous 382 would not have fit under a 9ft door but did clear a 10fter.
