JesseC,

I can relate. The last two houses we bought, we bought with the boat in mind. We would go looking at houses with a realtor and the first thing we would do is ask her to go in and open the garage door while we waited outside. Then I would measure for height, depth, and width. If the boat would not fit, then we went on to the next house. After doing this a few times, the realtor says to me, "I think I know what you want. You are looking for a nice garage with an attached house".

To me, the convenience of being able to back my boat directly into my garage, without airing down the tires or removing the guide poles or pushing it in by hand is priceless. I do have to remove the swim platform and knock down the tower but I can live with that.
