Even with a folding tongue that fold right under the nose (nicely cut short) - my 18'6" boat takes up 21'-6' in depth as well - so an "average" sized depth garage isn't going to work in many cases.

Funny you mention this as we were getting our house built the builder sat with us and explained the value of a larger garage and higher doors etc
We listened to him and now looking back sure glade we did .

Now I want a heated shop
