Nitro z7 question

[LEWITH]

Hey all,

 

Im looking to buy a 2013 Nitro Z7 and my question is in regards to manuverability of the boat with me pushing it.(no truck)  I have a three stall garage one double door one single and I want to put the boat in the single side but the door is to small to fit so I want to back up the boat halfway in the double door and manuver it diagonally into the third stall.  Will I be able to push it with my own power(no truck) into that stall if it has a tandem axle trailer or should I opt for the single axle trailer to make it easier to hand push it in to position. Or is the boat just to heavy to push by hand?

 

Thank you,

 

Lew

Single axle, yes. 

 

Dual axle, no.

Is the garage deep enough to compensate when you turn?

I believe so the garage is 23' deep in the double door side and 21' deep on the single door side.  The dealer said the boat is 20'5" with trailer.  I can always leave it diagonally in the garage and take up 2 spots I guess.  It would suck if it didnt fit because I dont want to store a boat outside.. would ruin my dream of having a bass boat

You know they make other boits that would fit? No sense ruining a dream.

Assume the trailer has a swing tongue that folds back. Single axle is more than adequate for your rig regarding weight and easy to move on level concrete. Does your garage have a center support post or is it open with no post?

They make a 2 wheel caddy with a trailer hitch to help move trailer by hand or electric powered, look into those. I put my TR-175 into my garage all the time and need to unhook the trailer and maneuver it in place by lowering the engine so it's about 1/4" off the concrete after unhooking the trailer, folding the trailer tongue back and end up with about 2" clearance. Takes a little practice but the trailer front wheel is about 3' back so you can pull the trailer forward the extra 3' when jogging it around. 

Buy a pair of tire chalks to prevent the trailer from moving when done.
