Hello from NC

[AKeuro]

Hello all, just signed up for this forum hoping to get some information. Have been riding jet-skis for over 20 years and currently have a 2006 GTI SE. Looking to possibly move to a Seadoo jet boat so I can get the whole family on there. Trying to find out the length of some of the smaller challenger models to see if it will fit in my garage so I posted a question in the trailer forum.

Well if there is anyone else on here in the Greensboro area, I am usually at Belews lake every chance I get.

Cheers....Kris

If no one else answers then I would suggest going to a dealer and take measurements.
Good luck. # years ago when a storm blew my neighbors tree thru (yes, thru) my shed. I had a new shed built that was long enough for my GTX and trailer. I was getting married in 4 months so I needed the other side of the garage for her. worked out great, AAA paid for the shed replacement.

You can just google the model that you're interested in, you can get the specs. for the boat, you will need to add 2-3' depending on what trailer you use. Or just get a bigger garage.

Yeah I wish a bigger garage was an option, this house has the smallest 2 car garage I have ever lived in. Looks like I might just have to fence in the back yard so I can park it back there and keep the HOA happy.

Anyone on these forums ride at Belews Lake?

AKeuro - I had a similar problem and I thought of knocking out the back wall of the garage and adding on a "shed like" building.
I decided against it since I would lose my storage loft and shrubs. Plus in my yard it would look funny sticking out another 6-8 feet.
So I did what I wrote in post #2. Granted it was for a GTX and not a boat.
Can you build a lean-to against the garage, so it's at least protected over the top of the boat?

Yeah, I am thinking I will build a lean-to against my shed in the back yard, but the shed is not big enought to hold a boat either. But I still have to put a privacy fence since I live on a corner lot. Looks like I will just stick with my jet-ski that fits into the garage until I get the fence and lean-to built.
