Hey guys

New to the forum and looking at a 16 Supra SE450 on a Triple Axel and trying to figure out if i can get it in a 8 foot garage door ? My garage is a 4 car tandem so length isn't a problem and its 10 foot once inside the issue is the 8 foot garage door. I know you can lower the towers and there are 2 settings( i believe you can even do a 3rd setting. My Last boat was a Nautique 230 with a boatmate tandem trailer and i had to lower the axels on the torsion to make it in.

Just wanted to hear if anyone has been successful or not ?

Thx
Dave

Bummer i know the Nautique G23 can fit in a 8 foot garage. The stated height for the G23 on a Boatmate trailer with 18 inch wheels at 8'3" but you can lower the tongue of the trailer.

Even if the tower is on the lowest setting and the tower racks are off ?

Lowest setting, tires deflated, tongue dropped, i still don't think it will go.

It would take all of the above and rack off like you mentioned to even have a chance. My trailer had the 18" wheel package, so it may be a bit taller, which could make a difference

Actually had someone check for me on a 2016 SE450 on a tandem boatmate trailer they said with the wakeboard racks off and tower in lowest setting it's 7 foot 9 inches and with racks on it was around 8.3.

I measured mine last night, pretty sure the top of the tower base where the hinge is what at 7'5". From what I recall when I had it folded down the tower leg was significantly higher. Guess the only way to find out is pull one home and try it.

If you can't afford a new house and a bigger garage then there are Moomba models for you.

my sg clears my 8ft door by 2 inches. the highset point is the rope wrap fingers, I Do have to remove the board racks every time it is only one bolt no big deal
