Default 38 Lightning length on myco trailer

I have a friend that is going to be building a new garage and needs the length of the boat with the trailer. If anyone has the measurement it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Bryan

Build the biggest man cave that can fit on your property, you can never have enough space.

Well I have a 38 Fever on a myco with #5's on boxes and 45 barely isn't long enough (well there is Zero room to move around). So I would guess that if I were to build one I would go at least 50 I am currently 75' in my building and it leaves room to park things in front or behind the boat when I need to.

Boat plus 5-7 feet.

Drive guards: longer
Surge brakes: longer
Drives out vs. drives in: longer

You want to be able to walk behind it to change the oil and access the drives/props without moving it.
You want to be able to walk in front of it without stepping over the tongue or opening the door.
Trust me on those statements.

You can't build it too big. I'd say minimum 47 feet.

W Joe length is never an issue Mine has an aluminum trailer and it measures 44' . Hooked the the bus it's 83 total. About 10 ' longer than a semi. So yea. A hundred would be super bomb!!

I'm on a Myco 37-39HTR trailer and there is little to no room in a 50 ft garage. Keep in mind a 50 ft insulated building is 50ft on the outside. If I had to guess you are looking at 48 ft zero clearance
