If my garage is 19' long, can a 18' boat and its trailer fit in there? Please help.

I doubt it because you have the length of the motor behind the boat and the length of the trailer tongue in the front. I have a 20.5' boat and it takes 26' to park it.

Sure will if you get a running start and stop when the trucks bumper is inside the garage. (sorry just couldn't resist) Actually No. When you add all the measures, boat, plus, tounge of trailer, plus, engine,= way over what you have for a garage. Not to mention, did you measure your garage correctly? Most are over 20ft.

It will fit if you put it in at an angle. Providing your garage doesnt look like mine.

I've got a garage that is 19.5' and after much research, will be going with a 16' Alumacraft tunnel hull and a folding tongue on the trailer. A 17' will not fit.

I put a 17'10" Ranger in my 20 foot garage. It had a detachable tongue.

I have a 20'4" BassCat angled in a 19'6" deep by 18'10" wide garage. You would be amazed at what you can do when you want a particular boat

I can fit a 17' 2" in a 20 foot deep garage without any problems. Folding tongue is the key. That was a great idea to fit larger boats in traditional garage lengths.

No. You have to consider the length of the trailer tounge amd the offset of your motor. Measure it first.

It all depends on how you define "fit". Based on Judd's recommendations a few years back I bought a set of gojaks. They allowed me to store a 21' Skeeter ZX250 in a garage that's 19X19. The book says the boat requires 24'10" of space to store.

I didn't show it in the picture but I also slide in the trash can, the recycle can and the lawn cart, along with the lawnmower in front of that boat before closing the door!  It takes about 10 minutes to get it in there but price boat storage and the savings is pretty obvious.
