Mine is 40x30 with a 10ft. door. The first couples times it was kind of scary but now that I am use to it and it's all good. I do have some markers along the way to make sure I am on track backing in. If I had to do it over i would go with a 12 ft. door.

I agree - a 12' wide door. As several as said above, build as big as you can. It's never big enough. One thing that hasn't been mentioned is windows. If this is at a weekend place, I suggest having no windows. It allows for a very easy and quick way in for a thief. I realize you can still get into a shop with no windows as well, but it takes a lot more effort.

I also suggest going with a slide up garage door rather than a roll up door. The garage door seals better. I have roll up doors, and I'm constantly fighting dust and a few random leaves.

Really depends on available funds, if you have 35k sitting around then the sky is the limit really for a 21 foot boat. I went with an 18x30 for my 21 foot Skeeter and there is plenty of room. 12x12 roll up door, 5 windows, and standard walk in door. Its perfect. Slab and all was under 14k. Texas Choice Steel Buildings was who i used, they were fairly easy to work with. The city on the other hand was not.

And them that do sometimes won't know how to take him.

From someone who built houses for a long time: an 18’ door is only a few bucks more and it makes a “barely two vehicle garage” into an “easy two vehicle garage”. That extra 2’ is huge.
