I have a similar problem. Although my boat and trailer together only measure 30'. My driveway is 100' long and only 11' wide. The garage door is offset from the center of the driveway by 2 1/2'. There is a patio and awning hanging off the back of my house that comes to about 15' from the garage. It is just impossible to back all the way down the driveway and into the garage. If it were a straight run it would be easy, but with the offset, forget it. So, to get my boat and trailer in the garage for the winter I back it in as far as I can. Which is just about where the awning hangs off my house. I drop the trailer of the hitch and onto the front wheel on the trailer. I have a winch mounted to the floor in the back of the garage. I hook it up to the trailer and just steer it in from the front by hand while holding the winch controls. Works great..

I borrowed it from my dad while the car was in the shop . I figured I hook it up to see how it sat it down in the ass. It did not move the Bean car much My dad didnt like it either . I told him it made some funny noise's when backing it up the drive way with the trailer breaks on

They are ugly but there fun to drive


Its still funny looking

i bet a 200 shot would make it much cooler....

It would probably make all the plastic fall off I would rather have the Dodge mini van I posted in the OT section,runs 12's

The say you can wash out the interior with a water hose

let me know how that goes....

Kinda like my setup, as far as manueverabilty. The pic may not show it, but my boat alone also is longer than the front of the 3rd stall to the curb. (8x9 door) I can back it in with no problem and also stay out of the yard across the street. I just start off in front of the neighbors house hugging the curb across the street and slowly make as wide of a turn as possible. I usually have to pull forward to straighen out the truck because I have to have it lined up straight when going in.

A 43 FT Black Thunder on an aluminum trailer w/o drive guard and no drive boxes is 47 to 48 ft long. Also the Black Thunder is 9 1/2 FT wide at the cabin entrance to behind the front bolsters. I store mine in a 16' x 16' x 50' pole barn with 14' x 14' roll up door and it fills it up. It takes lots of practice and lots of "when in doubt, get out and look" to get proficient in trailering a bigger boat. Do not get surge brakes on the trailer, go for the electric over hyd disc brakes. Makes backing up much easier.

an old Jeep works well to and you can find them in the paper cheap

I use a 40 horespower New Holland farm tractor for this purpose. Rear tires are about 40" tall. Easily backs a 12,000 pound trailer. Plus you can use it to blow snow and cut the grass.

I would have to say, seeing I have never lived in town. Buy 40 acre's and turn that rig around.
