What's it take to get your boat out?

[J.P.]

I fell little better about my setup now after reading other setups. Mine is still sucks.

 

[HocusPocus]

I keep my boat stored in Havasu, roll into town, grab the boat, head to Campbell's for fuel, drinks and snacks then drive down the street and drop it in the water.

I've got it going good right now. Im in Ca and my brother and our boat is in Phoenix. I just meet him at the river and the boat is usually ready to go. I'll grease the fittings and check oil and its in the water.

I spent years pushing a 21' Eliminator into a 2 car garage diagonally. Had to back it in and then muscle it into place. Then the Ultra went into tandem deep side but you had to swing it in just right.
I'm too cheap to pay for storage in Havasu so.... we finally just broke down and bought a place out there. The Magic goes in pretty easy! Had to rub it in just a little. No more pulling across the desert for a while!

Used to take about a half hour to move cars around to pull the boat out .. Now it only takes me 4 1/2 hours ... Gotta drive to Havasu back in the garage and hook it up ...

Pretty good amount of storage space now

5 minutes max . gate open , hook up , and leave.

After some trial & error I learned to squeeze my first Laveycraft 21XTC(+24' trailer tip to drive) into standard sized 3 car garage usually on first shot without moving any of weights, just the bench. I would back in using the black tape on garage floor as guide for lining up and stopping the port side trailer tires. Then I'd unhook, lower the drive, and by hand pull trailer sideways until jack wheel hit the other taped guide mark. With the tongue folded and drive down it'd barely clear the garage door and the rear water heater. In the second picture, If you look closely at the folded corner of poster, you'll see a bunch of my f*#ck ups or trial & errors smashed into the drywall.

It takes me about two and a half hours to get the boat out of the garage. It doesn't fit straight in the garage, I have to angle it to clear the garage door and there is a lot of stuff stored around it at all times. I've gotten pretty efficient at it by now.

My Harley shares that side of the garage, move it and it is straight out and in.

The boat is easy, I might have to move a bbq or something in front of it but usually I don’t have a car parked in the way. The Coach is another story! Ranchero, C-10 and Caddy all come out (as in the pic) then a 3-5 point turn in reverse out the door, put all the cars back and I can back the coach back in and open the slides without ever moving the boat.

Side note... did you have a get together at Desert Storm? If so, I think went to it with RiverDiva and some others. The garage and boat look familiar.

I have to open the gate...usually leave a truck hooked to the boat

Unfortunately, we didn't do a get together for desert storm. I met some people at the get together in Mission Viejo a few weeks ago. We'd like to do something on the lake or at the house in the future but haven't pulled it together yet. We'll have to meet up out there some time.

I hit up Johnny on Facebook at Pair-a-dice storage and the next day pick up the boat. Johnny has boat pulled out battery is charged and dust blown off the cover . Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

We had it pretty easy until we sold the ski boat last week. Walk down to the dock, pull the valve and by the time the cover was off the boat was floating. If we wanted to take it to the river it could be on the trailer 10 mins after walking out the front door. Not much more work now, 4 1/2 hour drive to havasu and pick the Daytona out of my brothers side yard.

Put in the surge brake key to prevent locking up the brakes prior to coming down the hill.
Then just hit the curb at an angle while backing up and bring her in slow. That's about it... Love it.
