Boat + motor + trailer to fit 20’ garage space?
#1

Just bought a home in Boynton Beach Fla with a 20’ wall to garage door space. Looking to buy a used quality boat motor trailer for intracoastal back bay and occasional ocean front use. Budget $15,000. Must have a 4 stroke outboard. Any thoughts?

Describe how you see yourself using the boat... cruising, fishing, kids or not, etc.

You will need a swing away trailer tongue.
Is the garage wide enough to put the boat in on a diagonal?
Can you cut and box in an extension into the house from the garage that would allow the motor to go a bit farther back?

So I have scout 162 sport fish with 90 Yamaha 2 stroke on the galvanized trailer and from the prop (motor down ) to the end of the swing tongue it’s ~19.5’
key west or key largo as stated might be tight
unless you occupy all the space in the garage

Key West 1720 would be on my short list for sure.
