Jim just make sure your skegs will be high enough if you get the hull that low. Although it's not the end of the world pulling the drives to store for the winter.

Great point Jamie! I was thinking of pulling the drives just so I am not tripping over them sticking off the back plus it gives me three feet of additional clearance at the back! :)

Matt - Thanks for the offer! Do you know how high the boat sits off the ground when on them?

Thanks
Jim

Interesting idea but I have to be honest......

Since the whole boat won't fit in the garage (20' in and 10' out) I am going to leave the bow sticking out and seal the hole with rigid foam board. This way I can heat the garage and leave the bow sticking outside! I am sure it sounds strange and will look even stranger but it's what I have to do to be able to work on the engine compartment and cockpit without freezing my a$$ off! With the boat off the trailer it will be easier to close the hole with foam board vs. having to work around the ibeams of the trailer.

Gordon - Thanks! I would need them all winter, don't want to put you in a situation if you might need them. Much appreciate the offer!

I don't know. If I remember tomorrow I will shoot a picture for you or get you a brand and model.
