Default Length of 288 on a trailer

I'm in the process of designing my new house and need to know how long a 288 on a trailer is so I can make my garage deep enough. I currently have a Baja now but after I get my house built I want to upgrade to a sunny Thank you for your help.

I think that depends on which trailer you buy. Mine came with the triaxle...which I believe will handle a 32 also. If you have a hitech marine aluminum triaxle trailer I will measure mine for you when I get home! Let me know!

I'd probably buy a tandem axle, but if you could measure yours for me, that would be great as a reference. Thank you very much.

It is 35'4" give or take an inch or two with the drive up. You can cut a few inches off with the drive down.

Actually, the lengths vary. Straight from Joe at the factory.....

A 288 on a steel trailer is 34'6"

A 288 on a aluminum trailer is 37'

If you'd like to verify this info, just call the factory.

Wanna come measure mine? I know I didn't miss mine by over a physical measure of a foot! Sure that isn't for a 32?

My 288 on a manning twin axle with the outdrive down and slightly turned fits inside a 40ft deep barn with like 5-6 ft to spare.

Your gonna build in 8ft increments anyways so just go 40' cause obviously 32' won't cut it, and you can jam a mower in front of it and a few boating realated rubbermaid bins or something.

My 288 was around 34' with the drive down and would fit easily into my 36' garage it was on a Trailmaster tandem axle trailer....now the 32 on the other hand is an inch on each end at an angle!

Those measurements came straight from Joe, via an email. Just passing it along.

I'd go at least 50'. I wish I didn't when I put mine up!!!! Gotta spend more $$$ on building my shop bigger before I can go bigger!!!!
