We need measurements on a 33 Outlaw, and a 36 Outlaw on the trailer, preferbly hooked to a tow vehicle.
We are going to have a garage built for our new home, and need to have an idea of the length,and height of the highest point for the opening of the garage. We plan on making it about 12 wide, so we have plenty of clearance. We currently have a 29, but may upgrade, you never know.
Thanks
Alan

I will get you some measurements tonight. I think my 36 on a Myco trailer behind the F-350 Crew Cab is around 58 feet total.
As for height, I think you need 9 feet of clearence. I will double check these.
We just had a stand alone metal garage put up. It is 20 feet wide by 51 feet long on a 20 x 60 foot slab. The sides and back are enclosed.
I can get the boat on one side and the dually on the other and still have a lot of space left.
Will try to post some pictures.

The measurements for my 36 are,8'4" at the top of the wind screen,8'8 1/2" at the top of the center post for the mooring cover,and 43'1" from the trailer coupler to the end of the prop blades, you could take a foot off of that length if you don't have extension boxes. As for heigth, the boat sits on a Load Master aluminum trailer with 15" tires.

I just so happened to be fitting a new 33' Outlaw into my garage as I read your request. THe boat and trailer are 38'-6" from tip of drives (up position) to the tip of the trailer hitch. May garage is 37' at the inside. So I had my extra clever welder / inventer guy and my all purpose high performance guy - Mark Sandberg at Valley Motor Sports in Eagan, MN. cut off the front of the trailer and install a double 1" plate steel bracket and hinge setup. It's the coolest thing you've ever seen - and the strongest. Now it will easily fit in my 37' garage. Your boat may be a bit different due to the positioning of the boat on the trailer relative to tongue weight and how the manufacturer set it up. Mine is a Heritage trailer as probably is yours. The boat easily fits under my 8' high overhead door. Hope that helps - sea ya.

In MN your garage can only take up 50% of your property so measure your yard divide it by 2 and build it with 10 foot ceilings and you will be good to go
That leaves room for the 40 outlaw when you get the itch
by the way dont laugh, I have a good friend here in town and that is exactly what he did
floor heat and the whole chabang. can you guess where the boat gets its work done at?

Thanks for all the info., we have been telling the builders architechs about 40 long, 11 wide, and 9.5 height for the opening. So now I think about 45 long, 12 wide, and 10.5 height should be a good size, just in case we get a 36.
So far only a few of the builders will do it in the communities here. They will attach it to the side of the house and set back a few feet, but we may loose a coulple side windows. The bids have been anywhere from $7,500 - $23,000, added to the cost of the house, and the lot premiums.
Most of the older homes we have looked at have deed restrictions that prevent us from building the garage if it can be seen from the street.
So the search goes on and on.

Isn't it amazing what we will do for our boats. My wife and I are building a house in Orlando and the largest I could get the garage is 31'8" with an 8'high door. It's fine for my 232, but I think that probably limits me to a 275 in the future.
Oh well, I'll survive. Oh, and get this. The garage on our house will be in the REAR, accessed by a narrow alley that runs perpendicular to the driveway. So, how do I back the boat in. I bought the only lot in the community that has an alley that runs perpendicular to the driveway and another alley that runs almost directly into the driveway. Just drive up to the back of the house, turn right into the second alley, and back the sucker up. Fortunately, the lot faces a nice park in front.
