Looks worse that it is, single axles are easier to move around and I was off some what but my garage is not deep enough front to back so always at an angle. If I get it in the corner just right you can pull a car in but not worried about that right now plus the boat stays in offsite storage or on the lift on the lake. Three car garage in a lake community, should have made the garage deeper and the single bay wider but is what it is..Hopefully a couple weeks I can have it on the lift on the lake but more work there since the bunks on the lift will need to be replaced/changed since the hull on these boats are different. Lots of work to be done all the way around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaubsNU1 Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Outstanding @bishoptf! Congrats on the new boat! Yep @gimruis, they never make garages deep / big enough...ugh! Unless you are doing a custom build, it's never big enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The left side is 30 feet deep. They can park their 21 foot Warrior in there without even using the swing away tongue. Smart move on their part. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User A-Jay Posted May 20 Super User Share Posted May 20 CONGRATULATIONS @bishoptf ! ! ! Sweet rig. Really happy you found what you were looking for. IMO, you did it right. Tons of research, asking all types of questions, plenty of what if's. Lots of folks start 'I'm buying a boat' threads and NEVER follow through. Nicely Done and Thank you. Looking forward to your rigging thread. Finally, a word to the wise. The new rig 'zeal' is a real thing. Don't let it get you to & from the Lake and especially on the water. Take it slow. Situational Awareness is paramount. Have Fun A-Jay 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Situational Awareness is paramount. Have Fun A-Jay I looked at a lot of boats multiple times, I think most boats are well made, some more than others but there are a lot of good options. Just me but had a hard time with the cost to chase some fish but my current setup just was a big compromise for fishing and just had no rod storage etc. I still really like the Lund Pro V bass but new the delta was just more than I wanted to spend about 12k. I looked for used boats but even then the newer ones were priced more than the new nitro. I will miss having the jump seats for times when we may want to take a couple extra folks out and it by far had the most storage. Lots of nice boats out there just have to figure out which way you want to go, I looked at all the above and weighed things out and ended up here. Really appreciate everyone weighing in and offering advice etc. I like getting other opinions always nice to have and take into consideration, always learning. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
