[QUOTE="richg99, post: 232826, member: 4376"] Just one more thought on the trailer tongue length. Years ago, I bought a boat and had an extra five inches of trailer sticking out. It was longer than my garage. I measured carefully and was able to buy a piece of galvanized square tubing that would fit INSIDE of the trailer's tongue. I cut the tongue off and then slipped the extension piece inside of the front/cut-off position..I bolted it there. I drilled two matching holes into the remaining tongue and the forward section. When it came time to put the boat up, I put her into the garage, pulled the two pins; pulled the forward section out and slid it down on the floor under the boat. So, the trailer length, when parked, really didn't extend much past the very bow of the boat. That system might give you the extra room you need. Rich p.s. The removable section weighed a lot. For safety, I made sure I had a long piece of the smaller tubing in both the front and back portions. [/QUOTE]
