Need help getting boat into garage.

[spyder]

Trying to save $400 by not storing my boat in someone elses garage for the winter.

ok, so the garage is only 20ft deep, so the LSV won't fit in that way. But it is an easy 26-28 ft on the diagonal, so it would fit that way. problem is it's a double garage door, not a single. does anyone have any experience moving a boat into an awkward space?

I was thinking of putting the boat on those wheel dollys under the wheels and a trail dolly to push the boat into the garage.

would you guys think it would work.

why do you need dolly's , the trailer has wheels.......I guess i don't understand the problem....or is it you have single doors not a double

just a really tight fit, since it is two single garage doors compared to one large opening, I cant just navigate it into the corner. i'll show you some pictures.. maybe it will show the opening better.

i think your on the right thinking with the dollys-put them under the rear tires and you would be able to move the boat sideways once its in. not something I would want to do very often but for winter storage that would be about it

ok got ya, i agree with the dollies once ya get it into the garage, maybe someone else will give ya some ideas

Any interest in removing that support wall between the doors?

Good luck with that project.

Now he has something to spend that 400 on that he's saving
Concrete saw, a huge mf lentle and a custom fab huge mf garage door and he's in business

don't give any ideas. that support wall screams load bearing

I think harbor freight used to have the small dollys that lift up car tires so you can move it around. there was a 20% off coupon in our sunday paper in the national ads insert..
might be a start?

Before doing anythins measure the width of the door. If that is not a 9 foot door (i.e. only 7 or 8 ft) you won't get in the door at all. If it is a 9 ft door you only have about 4 inches per side between the boat guides at the top. I put my boat in through a 9 foot door all the time. The trick is to back it up so that you just barely miss the door on one side, buy less than an inch. It's easier tahn yo think. Once you get the tires through the door you can put the nose jack down and get it off the hitch and move it by hand - unless your driveway is too steep. You wold be surprised how much jockeying around you can do. Well at least that was true with the 99 Mobius. The LSV may be to heavy for that??
