When it came to my wife adn I buying a house I measured the boat its a 19ft ranger with a swing away tounge so its about 26 or so feet. I told the realtor first and foremost if the garage isnt atleast 28 feet deep I dont care about the rest of the house. of course i cleared this with the wife first. And now that the realtor adn us were on the same page. I would walk in a house pull out the tape measure in the garage and it was yea or ney on lookign at the rest of the house.. Sure some of the houses had nicer options but we found a house with a 30 ft deep 2 car garage with a one acre lot and good neighbors so we bought it. But I just told the realtor if the boat wouldnt fit we wasnt buying the house cause i aint keeping my boat outside all the time.
