Haven't bought the boat yet, but the single garage door opening to my

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.
Looks like a line it up, uncouple and winch it in *SLOWLY*. I have ~~6"
total side clearence + 1" from the transom to the door. Put in stern
first or with a nosewheel setup that gets the trailer level, I cant get
the doors shut. Of course my boat is small enough to manhandle the trailer.

Best double check that beam, If it doesnt include the rubbing strip
you'd be in SERIOUS doo-doo. Also you may want to sacrifice 1/2"
clearence each side to mount stout rollers to the inside of the door
frame incase you touch. Ideally need something to ring a bell or
whatever if they actually turn. Plan B is hang a glossy magazine on the
door frame each side in way of your maximum beam. If you start ripping
poages *stop* moving the boat.
