Gotcha. None of my (Smaller) boats have had such a plug.

Really, expansion joint on 2 sheets? Not around here (New England) that's for sure,

I apologize for the derail but, how does an expansion joint work when the tapers come along and fill it full of mud?

Its a relief joint so the toque if the garage door openers dont crack the fixed joints of the drywall sheets.

The installers didnt know I am using trackless, wall mounted garage door openers; thus, I really dont need them.

That sounds like a line a $hitty Sheetrocker would say.

Nice shop. At 57 foot long your should be be good on a TG or any performance boat for that matter .

Mine is 45' deep with 12 foot ceilings and 10x16 door. My 380 Avenger is about the longest I can fit in mine. I'm about a foot or so away from my back wall. I was surprised how close the PQ's wind screen gets to the top of the door opening. If it was a windshield boat if would be really close on clearing 10'. Dam, tall ass boat / free board

Super nice setup! Being able to park your boat attached to your house is pretty sweet. Like you said, if you need some huge bay doors, sounds like shop time.
