Default Gotta fit this boat in garage, 3" to spare in width. Doable as apractical matter?

Plenty of room. As for the tractor...I have a custom made
class 2 hitch w/ 2-5/8" tow ball on the back of my '79
diesel Rabbit. Gets lots of strange looks . Use it to
maneuver my 25' MaXum and tandem trailer in the driveway. It
works hard to do it. I don't think your 18 hp tractor will
have the power you need.

Haven't bought the boat yet, but the single garage door opening to my
triple garage is 105" wide, the boat I want is 102" wide. 1-1/2"
doesn't seem like much leeway when backing a 1-1/2 ton dual axle
boat/trailer in. Or is it?

It is a triple garage, but only the single door side is deep enough.
Is it possible to put her in diagonally through the double door with
the stern in the single side, then swing te tongue around in terms of
keeping the stern from swinging way over to the double side and with
the double axle situation?

I could attach it to a tongue on my more maneuverable 18 HP Honda
tractor mower, unsure if it has the strength and weight to accomplish
it - would trying it be worthwhile, or do I risk looking like
something out of a Laurel and Hardy short?

Thanks for any advice.
