Do you have LSV and swing-away tongue?

Can anyone with the 2006-09 LSV and a trailer with swing-away tongue tell me what the overall length is with the platform off and the tongue folded back? Thanks!

22.5 feet. I have it backed into my garage and its 24 feet deep. Theres 2 inches from the wake plate to the drain for my washer. Thats about a foot total from the back of the boat to that wall. 3 inches from the swing tongue to the braces on the garage door.

I relocated the washer and dryer next to my hot water heater and furnace because it allowed more room for the boat. Just ran some PVC piping for the hot water and drain. Ran a regular boat style hose for the cold water.

I agree with mike +\- 2". I put the tollerance n there for when I load too far/short and don't catch until we're home.

Thanks, guys! As precise as you are, I am so close I may have to measure the very boat that would be going in there. I have about 22' 6.5" to work with. It may not matter anyway but I need this info to avoid an anticipated counterargument. Thanks again!

Haha, put that on the list of things I wouldn't let the wifey park :p

I know, right? I back up till I'm good and scared then unhitch and push it back by hand. I'll bet everybody has a similar system.

So we will be hearing how it fit next monday right.:D



Another way to gain a couple inch's. In mmandleys 1st photo you can remove the lower bar that spans the width of the garage door--something i had to due for height for a different boat,

MMandley do you have any more pictures or the tongue? I am thinking about putting a swinging tongue on my boatmate so it fits in the garage better.

If you want to email them my email is [email protected]


Thanks,
Mark

You can also remove some of your drywall and "create" about 3 more inches of room along your back wall. Of course this means a little work making proper headers, but it is pretty easy to do.

I've already removed the drywall with the speedo pickups on the Outback.

Daze, I don't know if it would be that quick. I heard from a potential one today and it looks like they already have a deal in place. Rest assured you'll be the first to know-- I'd like you to be the Godfather after all.
