I have a 20×23 garage and have a 20'5" Ranger 205VS...with motor trimmed down and swing tongue I can angle it in but no other vehicles inside with it. Also have to swing down Talon before going in and then swing up once inside. I got some 4×4's and made a stop to keep from backing to far as well.

I see I'm not the only one with a wife that gets to give up the garage....

Having a smaller garage has saved me a lot of money cause all I can get in mine is a ZX190. If it was bigger there would prolly be a FX21 in there. 
I am a Senager. (Senior teenager) I have everything that I wanted as a teenager, only 50 years later. I get an allowance every month. I have PU truck and a bass boat, I am blessed.

At least 30' long if you want to back it in as towed and walk away. Otherwise, you'll have to trim motor down, put it in at an angle, etc...

Man, you got a lot tighter space than I do. I don't have to trim the motor down but my problem is I have a rear entry garage and the alley is a little tight trying to back it in. Sometimes I make it on the first try but usually takes two.

The things we do for our toys..., but I really like having it in the garage vs. storage somewhere.
I just recently added dual power poles so yet another obstacle...
There is certainly a checklist of things to remember moving the boat in and out of the garage like making sure it's unplugged (yes I've done it before), moving all the kids bikes and things in and out, lowering and raising the power poles at the right time with the remote while I'm moving it in and out, etc...
It's not that bad. lol

I applaud you guys doing all that to park your boats, I hate tilting my 15 foot talons and pivoting my tongue in my 30/50 shop....

The Go Jack idea is interesting. I am currently looking at houses and a couple have 26' Wide by 24' Deep garages. I have a 2014 Nitro Z9 with a 10" jackplate and tandem trailer. If I used Go Jacks for the front two wheels, could I pivot the boat in position like a single axel trailer? Or would I need jacks on all four wheels for positioning?

My last two boats I've used one go-jak on one wheel and it was enough to take weight off the floor on both axles. I could scoot it either way, then.
