I was about to email CLC for this info, but I thought if it gets answered on the forum it will be documented for the next person… I’m trying to get an idea of how the SUT-500-S18 trailer+boat combo will fit in my garage. The boat is 18’ 10", which fits with enough room for me to get around the ends with the door closed. The trailer is 18’ 3". It appears in photos that the boat sits right forward on the trailer. I’m estimating the overall length of the combo at 21-23’. If you happen to know how close that guess is, please let me know.
Hi, based on the specs and photos I’ve seen, your estimate of around 21–23 feet overall for the SUT-500-S18 trailer+boat combo seems about right.
The boat’s 18’ 10" length, combined with the trailer’s design where the boat sits quite forward, usually results in an overall length in the low 20-foot range—likely around 22 feet.
This should give you a good idea of how it will fit in your garage. If you need a more precise measurement, you might want to double-check with CLC, but your current guess is pretty close.
Must have been a bot that posted on this thread? I ended up finding all of the pictures I could of the SW Dory on her proper trailer, and found my initial guess of 21-23’ overall was a bit high. There is very little tongue beyond the stem of the boat; The whole package should be barely > 20’ which is good news for me. Just a tad longer that the boat herself and will fit in the space I have.
