Measurements that saved a marriage

sweet ride max! thanks 4 posting pix!

LBX,

Thanks! Glad to see you have a new ride & that everything worked out after the accident. Enjoy the boat! I sit in mine(in the garage) very weekend and pray for global warming(or at least here in Canada). Summer can't come soon enough!

I talked to my dealers service dept this morning and they are going to trim and lower the bunks down 3" or so. I will still need a drop down hitch but that doesn't phase me to lower the tower and then change the hitch before I back up my hill into the garage. Since I did not spec this into the custom trailer specs it'll cost me out of pocket a few hundred dollars. Might be done by end of January.

I am not going to let air out of the tires because once the boat Jack is in the garage we unhitch and swing the tongue over to the right and push back the final few inches into a foam pad on the back wall. Not easy to do with low air on tandem axle trailers and no sons

Tessa, My advice would be to go back and take very careful measurements of your garage door opening. I find it hard to believe that you are having to make all these adjustments to the trailer, if your garage opening is a standard size. Like I said, floor to sill plate on mine is exactly 6'9" and mine fit, by a hair without making changes. The fact that you are coming uphill to the garage will also help you, because your tongue will already be lower. Good Luck!
