Great point 65! I didn't even think about chains or chutes. The way I see it, with a Terrova and rod holders, I could longline out of any boat while everything else is a perk

I'm looking hard at the Targa with a 115, just wanna make sure its got enough juice to have a full load AND drag a kid in a tube or skis.

I have a Tracker Pro175 DeepV with a 90 Merc. My garage door has some sliding screen panels and the track does not allow the motor to come into the garage. Also with the complete windscreen, that could be another hiccup getting the boat and trailer into the garage. I am sure that you have the overall length covered, with a folding tongue.

Well you were right Fly...the Tracker Targa package is 2 inches over my garage door clearance height...and its bumming me out!

you can always let some air out of the tires before you backin then reinflate before going fishing.

LMAO that was my first thought sir!!

What about if you lower the tongue jack real low? We had to run ours down real low on a Aquasport until she cleared then run it back up.

We're going to hit BPS tomorrow evening for some further recon

The problem with the Tracker Targa is you have to deal with the high motor housing, then mid ship there is a full windscreen, which is just forward of the axle.
Some trailers you can tilt back and forth but when dealing with two high objects its tough.

I can definitely relate to wanting it in the garage. Moved and measured mine about 6 times trying to figure something that I could get both the camper and boat in there. My problem was depth and width. I ended up with an inch from my tongue to garage door and my motor touching drywall. About 2" between boat and camper and about 2" between boat and air handler platform. But aint got no sun beating on her and can keep everything ready to go! Good luck in your search Tundah. Wonder if you could order without trailer and have a custom low boy from Ramlin made, or swap leaf springs to under side of axle like a lot of the skiff guys do to launch shallow.
