How I store my 21' Tige in a 19' garage.

[Oklahoma Breakdown]

Ok so I thought you guys might enjoy seeing how a 21 foot boat fits into a 19 foot garage. I have been doing this for the last two years. With about $120 invested in a winch to make it work I have saved dockage/storage fees for 2 seasons now.

To begin with I pull up the significant incline of the driveway fully into the garage.

Next the 1200# winch is attached to the trailer. I have mounted the winch underneath our water heater on a 2x10 with reinforced studs in the concrete and use an anchored pulley to double the pulling power with a strap pictured here.

The following pics show it advancing up the driveway into the garage. To protect the winch wheel I stop at the lip of the garage, lower the trailer onto a jack stand and raise the wheel to the level of the garage and then pull forward a bit, lower the wheel back down and continue...

This is as far in as it goes so the swim platform has to come off.


Two high performance machines in one garage.... The End.

I've seen that setup before. The only difference is that he has a lake at the end of the driveway

Fine Job Oklahoma!!!!!

I did the same to my garage only I knocked out half of the wall on one of the garages and added 30feet minus the winch.(I would have prefered the other side but my wife says we need the living room)

Hard to tell from this pic.

And I get to keep my 4 car garage!!!!

Don't you mean, 1 boat, 1 bike + 2 car garage?

Awesome. Every year about this time I try to figure out how I can get mine in the garage! My problem is that my trailer is too wide. I would need to get the boat off the trailer and then pull/push it in.

Are you double axle? I was thinking if you are single maybe you could put the trailer tires on a dolly and then angle one wheel in at a time Otherwise you would have to invest in something to get your boat off the trailer and I guess defeat the purpose.

Do you do that EVERY TIME you use your boat? Holy pain in the arse!!! Once a year for storage through winter is totally worth it. Otherwise, buy a fabric covered shed thing for $1k and drive it in/out in about 30 seconds and be done with it.

Yep, double axel and single openings for each of our garage doors.

Its a tight squeeze...

No there is another 2 car garage to the left in that picture.

The house across the street is the same model as mine.

That is definitely a sweet looking color scheme on that boat

Reminds me of one I've seen somewhere before

[philwsailz]

Nice.

[tigesinaus]

our has its own little cubby house... but the tower still has to go down (and that is no mean feat with the 4 pro 80s, it weighs a ton!)
the old response used to fit with the tower up, but the z seems to have a few feet on it!

All of you have a nice set up. Some day I might get mine inside and get rid of the RV cover.

Someday I might build a garage.
