Garage depth for RZ2 with swing tongue?

[Duncan]

I have a few weeks till my 2009 RZ2 comes out of storage ... and I need to know how deep a garage needs to be for the RZ2 to fit (trailer tongue swung in, platform removed).

Anyone know off hand?

Thank!!

My 2008 22Ve fits in a 25 foot garage with the swim step on.

I too would be interested in the length. As well as door height with the tower up. I'm guessing 10 ft. Tall , but not really sure.

My RZ2 on a road runner trailer uses 26' from the back of the swim platform to the end of the folded tongue. And if I removed the platform it would save 2'.

I think on mine a 10' door would fit but I would make it 10'6" to be sure to clear the tower up.

And I just took both measurements here in my garage.

I just measured 24' 6" I am trying to figure how the RZ2 adds 18"????

I'm guessing different trailer, and the swim platform comes to a peak at the center which may extend a few inches past your swim platform. And I took the measurement from the back wall which has a 1" gap from the back of the swim platform.

After I put the kids to bed I'll measure from the tip of the bow to the tip of the folded tongue, I bet that's going to be the biggest difference.

The nose of my boat is almost in a vertical line with forward point on the folded tongue. The platform on mine is parallel to the back wall of the garage - pointless.

Thanks!

Too many shallow garages in these houses we are looking at ...

22" from the front of the boat to the tip of the trailer.

Yup, when I was looking at houses I carried a tape measure and that's the first thing I measured. Lucky I found this gem of a garage.

Our 12 RZ2 measures just a tick over 22 feet on a CTW trailer and it does not stick out past the bow when folded. We looked at a 13 RZ2 on a Boat mate trailer and it stuck out around 8 inches past the bow when folded.

22" from the front of the boat to the tip of the trailer.

That would explain the difference. It looks like it provides a nice step. Coming out of the bow on the trailer on my boat is not as simple.

I passed on many houses due to the garage.
