Does anyone know if a 185 Sport (2007) on a shorlandr trailer w/ breakaway tongue will fit in a standard 1-car garage?

and/or do u know the length end-end while on the trailer?
 
depends on the depth of your garage. My dad fits an 18' boat in his garage with the tongue folded away (barely). I think his garage is 24' deep.
 
I bearly fit a searay 176 bow rider in my 20' single bay garage. it has only a few inches to spare on each side of the fenders at the door and I had to angle the shorleander trailer with a swing-away tongue to get the door closed! oh and I had to trim the outdrive down to as close to the floor as possible. Take a measuring tape and make sure before you buy!! Good luck!
 
My garage is 24' and I easily fit my 175.
With the tongue folded over, I need 20'-6" for the 175 on a shorelander. I am going to guess your 185 is a foot longer unless the trailer is totally different. You can also gain several inches with the outdrive lowered (just put a reminder on the front of the trailer to lift the leg before moving).
 
When the tongue folds, the "fold" point is pretty close to the bow. When the drive is down, it's pretty much under the platform. Knowing that, you can look at the specs for your boat and then measure the garage.
 
I can fit my 2000 185 on a shoreland'r (no foldaway tonque) into my single garage, at just a slight angle.
 
Just measured my 2005 185 Sport in the garage. With the drive fully up and the trailer NOT folded it needs 23 1/2 feet. With the tower lowered it needs 6 1/2 feet. You can save a bit by lowering the drive and folding so say 21 ft?

:grin: Cheers
 
How deep is your garage? How long is your boat plus the trailer?
.
Just took a quick measure... couldn't get exact measurements with the boat still in the garage, but here's what I got:
Boat + trailer = 22' (approx, with drive down)
Garage = 23' (approx)
