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

[Oklahoma Breakdown]

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.

Every time I will keep it in the driveway for a couple of weeks at a time in the middle of the summer but wife doesnt like it out front. I have done this for two seasons now. I would love to find someone with an unused personal dock on the lake right next to my house Lake Worth and rent it out from them. Until then I guess I will keep doing this. Just does not seem to make sense to pay for storage that in my opinion is not that secure.

That is definitely a sweet looking color scheme on that boat

Reminds me of one I've seen somewhere before

Good looking ride! And I am very jealous of the twin axle trailer. I had a blowout on the way down to the Owners Reunion last week and it shredded the tire in about 5 seconds. Tige's are too heavy to be on single axles!

zad0030 - What are the dimensions of your garage? I used to do that with an 18 1/2 I/O in my garage, but got storage for the new Z1. I am now wondering if I can do this with my Z1. I think my garage is 19 deep. I may have to go home and do more measuring now.

Dos anyone have a mathematical equation, for sizing a boat into a garage? I have a 22I and love to store in the garage. I think my garage is about 20 feet deep. Any thoughts??????

Something around 19x19

Measure the length and width of the garage.

Measure the length of the boat/trailer at its shortest state, swing tongue, platform off, etc.

Measure the width of your trailer/boat at its widest at the rear.

Get me those and I will calculate it out for you.

One question...maybe I missed it. Once you pull your boat in like this with your truck, how do you get the truck out?












Nevermind...I re-read it...thats one hell of a tight squeeze.

Then, get out the sledgehammer and sawzall and make room for it

Is this what you really meant Zad?

[Domsz06]

if you have a standard 2 car garage, then with the teak off you can fit up to a 23 foot tige in it IF YOU Have the removable tongue.

If you don't have the removable tongue thenabout 23 feet is as long as you can go which is typical for a 21 foot tige, platform removed and then the 2 foot tongue.

Make sense A & E?

um no

um no

its' not hard zad.

when you angle your boat in like you did, you remove the teak. In a standard 2 car garage you will get about 25-26 feet for the hypotenuse (sp?)

well then you have the issue that your boat is not a straight line and is wider in the back. By the time you loose the space, you get about 22-23 useable feet for the boat from corner to corner. If you have a standard trailer the tongue typically sticks out about 2 feet past the nose of the boat, so then the longest boat you could use is 21. IF you have a removable tongue that breaks directly under the nose of the boat, then you could have up to a 23 foot boat in your garage.

OF course this all depends on you garage.

that clearer? It's not that hard, your smart.

I know the math dom... I have done this 2 times already.
My garage is 19'x19' giving a hypotenuse of just under 27 feet. Given the boat is atleast 102" wide at the rear means that there will be roughly 6' between the rear of the boat and the corner. Giving a total allowable boat length of just under 21'. Also allow for walking space and the fact that you will not get the boat in perfectly each time.

[Domsz06]

there ya go, guess I didn't have a standard garage then. I was just basising my numbers on what I could fit my boat in, and the garage I used to keep it in there was an extra 2-3 feet so you could easily put it in. I'd say your garag is small, my garage I just built was 19' 10 " x 22' 11"

[Oklahoma Breakdown]

My brain hurts from all this math. I did trial and error. Basically I couldnt stand wiping out my whole garage with a boat in there sideways. My saving grace was the small water heater cubby.

I am with Oklahoma breakdown, my brain is on over load. From what everyone is saying I think it will fit, I am going to give it a try! Thanks

Good luck! You should post pics either way.
