    I still vote to modify the garage somehow (maybe a 3rd door). I moved my wall 2 ft in (since I have a huge family room). A buddy of mine raised his 2 ft so his malibu tower would clear. I can guarantee that if our furniture etc wouldn't fit in our house, my wife would be building on to the house in a heartbeat to make sure the furniture etc fit! When we moved into our current house, I told my wife if it didn't have a suitable garage, then we would modify!

      I was able to get the tower up, so I can work in the boat.

          Not sure how height, 14 ft or so. I'll just fold it down to get it out.

            Crads... I think I'm going to have the same issue as you. Did you have a problem getting the jacks side by side with the tandum wheels so close together? Are you leaving the jacks on after the boat is in position?

            Thanks!

              Stands

              There will be no problem with a tandem. And yes I just left them under the tire all winter. I purchased cheap ones at PepBoys, I think I paid 120.00 for all 4.

                What is the method for getting the trailer on the castors? Do you need a jack or something? I want to do something like that this spring. I need to turn my boat for a side entry garage and they would work great!

                      Those are expensive. They look cooler then mine.

                        That was cool, but yeah, those are expensive. I might just try a $20 floor jack and the ones from PepBoys. Thanks for the help guys. PDT_003
