How tall does the garage need to be to fit a new boat?

10' doors are sufficient for pretty much anything. Like stated above, better to go big now than be stuck with it later. If you have the room to put a 12' door in, do it for sure. Also go wide enough you can get something out around the boat if you need to. My old shop had a 9' wide 8' High door and my formula fits so tightly I cant even put it in with the cockpit cover poles installed, and I have to prop the garage door up past the header with a stick so the windshield clears.. Once it's in, I cant even squeeze a lawnmower out around it.
I'm installing doors in my new shop this weekend, 2 14'W 10.5' H and 2 10 x10. I wanted to go higher, but the I'm restoring an old barn, and that's the best I can do.
Dave - I'm glad your Donzi fits in a 9'er... That's one of the boats we have been seriously looking at and I was mildly concerned it would be tight with a 10'. Good to know.

food for thought,if you plan on heating your boat house,you might want to reconsider you ceiling height.10-12ft ceilings are $$$$$ to heat,,,,,unless you have a wood stove and alot of wood to burn,and frankly i am not crazy about buring wood in a boat house w/boats full of gas being storied.jus my 2cents.i have a 9ft door,w12ft ceilings,metal construction.i have no problems getting my 27 and 33ft fountain in through the door.

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
