Anyone fitting 24' towered boats in 8' door?

[Speedling]

Sorry it took so long to get back to you but we've been camping on the Sand Bar.
@BigAbe75 is right, I do have an 8ft garage door. I do get my boat 2017 ar240 in and out every weekend. When we picked up the boat from the dealer the cable and the bolt then you also have 2 locking nuts and a stop on the bolt for the tower. When we brought it home from the dealer we noticed there's about three quarters of an inch till the bottom of the bolt. we simply just unscrewed the 2 Locking nuts and stop till the bottom locking nut came flush with the bottom of the bolt. Then we lowered the tower. The anchor light was in line with the top of the windshield. Then I lower the tongue jack almost all the way down. Then I use a winch to get the boat in and out of the garage since there's a slight Hill up into our garage.

I hope this all makes sense. We can usually have the boat unhooked and back in the garage in about 10 minutes.

Awesome! And how deep do i need to be of a garage would you measure?

@Speedling hear the last of the pictures of the measuring from the farthest point on the boat to the furthest point on the trailer

24 ft 3 inch is what I measured.

@Speedling I was looking through a 2017 Yamaha brochure today and the specs. I would probably imagine they're pretty accurate
