Default Trip Verado's too heavy for trailer!

Well I just got perission from the Admiral to buy a new 34 Venture W/trip Verados. I tried to put it in our new garage specially built to fit the rig, but My Tahoe lacks the power to get into the garage. Turns out the Verado's are so heavy they drag sometimes!
I've even tilted the motors all the way up.
Please help!

you could install an elevator where the ramp to your garage is.

That's a ridiculous driveway. Previous home driveway was on a slight hill. Never again. Makes life so much more difficult than it needs to be.

This is a joke right! I have trip 275 verado and my F-250 does even feel it. The trailer does not either. Please tell me your joking BTW, A 34 Venture does not even fit in that garage without motors!

of course he is joking. That is a standard size garage that the boat would be sticking out half way and the tower would not fit an eight foot opening.

Hope the home is in Florida and not New Jersey. If in Jersey good luck leaving the house when your driveway is iced over.

Home builders can be stupid!

This is a joke right!
The broker I purchased from gave me the dimensions to make the door opening, so it should fit. I am going to the Chevy dealer and see if they think a 3500 w/Duramax would be enough.

I don't think you will have to worry about carring flood insurance. That drive has more pitch than my roof.

I can't imagine the way my kids could use that driveway for skateboarding and roller blading. [img]../images/emoticons/biggrin.gif[/img]

That angle can't be for real......a low slung car would have to get hung up coming in and out of the garage.

No way is a 34 going to fit into that garage. By the time he got 1/2 the trailer inside the engines will be hitting the ceiling.

Don't worry about the steep incline...that slab will be in the street after a few good rainstorms. When that happens, build a street level garage with a hydraulic lift so you can stack boats and cars up to the garage level. BTW - didn't you say you sold forklifts....you see where I am going with this?

There is no way that that is for real.

I cannot see how you could back any type of trailder up that.

Shoot, I don't event think a regular car could even drive up that thing.

Please post a picture of a vehicle with the front wheels on the incline and the back wheels still on the level part. I just cannot believe that is real.

PS, how high is the garage door opening and were you able to put the boat in there prior to powering up with the Verdao's?
