I thought so--but it's a new (to me) boat, so I thought it best to ask.

BTW the boat won't fit in the garage by about 2" :(

Build a new garage or house. The economy needs it.

Get a 6" holesaw and cut a hole in your garage door. Perfect fit!! :D

can you angle the mast across the boat and make it fit. I have a customer that does that, he goes corner to corner to make it fit.

I hang my masts from the ceiling cross-ways (three car garage). You could probably do it angled in a two car garage (above the doors).

I am having to figure out storage for my mast right now, the 14's mast would fit along the ceiling but the 5.2's won't. I might go for under the rear awning of the house.

I have the distance, but the two single car garage doors and their hardware is going to make that too much work to be practical.

I've been meaning to post this for a while -

4 boats and 3 cars in a 3-car garage:

Soon to be joined by another boat - my daughter's Laser.

You can never have too many toys . . . .

You're sick. But I have to say, Tigger REALLY looks like a cool boat. I love my 20, but I am feeling the pull........
