Just don't let this turn out to be one those "Here, hold my beer" moments!! LOL

We need to find the pictures of the rotisserie that 'glassdave' made. It's in the Fiberglass & Paint forum somewhere. I'll ask Dave if he can post it again if I can't find it in a minute.

Watch this for pointers:

Realistically, I like the remove the door trim, maybe take the rubrail off if not too much work, should give you the 3 inches.

Don't forget the lubricant!

What is the distance between the 2 metal tracks the door rides in? If you can clear between them it shouldnt be too hard.

Most doors are trimmed around the inside of the opening with a 2x6. Then a 2x4 is nailed on the flat on the interior of the buiding. the edge of the 2x4 is held fush with the inside of the opening / 2x6. If you can remove the door weatherstrip then remove the 2x6 then notch the 2x4 you may make it work. If you have metal trim of course you will have to remove that first. Really not as bad as it sounds.

Reassemble with screws so it will be easy to take apart again.

Sell boat, buy a 24x7

Um, is this a trick question? I always hated those back in elementary school!

I guess there's always a way to do the impossible, but sometimes isn't it just easier to put it somewhere where it fits? (The boat, that is!)

Take a string 8 feet long, see how far you must raise it to clear sides, if you have the headroom build a ramp for one side and carefully back in.

Perhaps you could rig something like this up to do this on your own trailer?

BUT, if you plan on installing the motor/drive and other stuff while it's inside over the winter, how do you plan to get it back out?

Sounds like a good excuse to build a bigger garage.
