The Yamaha brochure says even with the trailer tongue folded the overall length is over 20ft which would have really been a bitch since my garage is only 19ft 8". Well these pics speak for themselves. IMG_20180717_074913.jpg IMG_20180717_074948.jpg

Yeap, you can find several threads around here with dimensions that contradict the Yamaha website. They must've had the marketing guys reading the tape measures that day :D :D

Nice ... I had about 18 inches to spare. Also, plenty of space with the bimini in the down position. Now the width was a tight squeeze ... about 2 inches on each trailer wheel.

Other than @Arcadyus first pic (the space bewteen the wall and boat could be increased by moving the boat forward a little) you all look like you have plenty of room to me. First world problems, I love and hate them.

Seeing that pic makes me really grateful for my "small" garage. I'm at 21'9" x 19'8" wide and 12'6" ceilings.

Sadly I fill all the voids with "junk" when the boat is stored. Yes I move all this crap each time I want to take the boat out. Yes I'm working on better storage for most of it.

I'm in similar circumstances. Costco regularly has sales on SafeRacks ( https://www.costco.com/SafeRacks-Overhead-Garage-Storage-Combo-Kit,-Two-4-ft.-x-8-ft.-Racks,-18-piece-Deluxe-Hook-Accessory-Pack.product.100133736.html ). I bought two a few months ago but haven't put them up yet.

I almost bought those racks on woot.com the other day. Would've saved a few hundred bucks buying two of them.

Oh well, maybe next time.
