Fitting an 18 footer on a trailer in a home garage is usually difficult. With outboard off back and trailer tongue in front

This way you can tinker with the boat when you get cabin fever and more importantly be able to take it out if we have a mild winter.

wish I had a garage as this is the way I would do it!

Prospect Point has indoor storage at both locations. Most likely more costly but you do save on covering...Charlie

Figured I’d wrap up this post with what I ended up doing. Took NJSquatch’s suggestion and built a frame out of conduit and tarped it up. No the as tight as I would’ve liked but seems to be doing the job.

Nice boat. Be sure to cover the prop/lower unit to keep water from freezing in it.

Here is my setup. Just need to remove the snow after each storm.
