Nice Tracking system Vic! Do you have your rodholders yet?
If you dont, make sure you get the one's that adjust your rodholder posistions with the pull-pins, instead of one's that screw in place, it makes it alot nicer, and easier.
If you have any questions let me know

Thanks Little Casino. In that we tried to copy your layout, we were hoping you might notice. Haven't gotten that far yet, but will certainly try to follow your advice. Everyone that has seen the tracking system really likes it.
I am sure we will have questions as time goes on.

The measurements we have to work with include;
1. Door height is 7 feet 11 ½ inches. Because the Rolls Axle trailer is lower than the Triumph standard, I have close to 5 inches to spare with the center console folded back so it almost touches the seats. If your space is really tight and you need me to be exact, just let me know and I will measure it.
2. The section of the garage where we have placed the boat is 24 feet 6 inches deep. Rolls Axle made the trailer with a swing tongue, which made the trailer the same length as the boat without the motor. I have just over one foot of space left over. If the trailer was just a few inches higher, so the motor could sit straight up and down, I would gain even more space.
3. The widest part of the trailer is at the Guide-Ons. We have a width of about 9 feet 3 inches at the widest spot. We were originally going to place the boat in a single car garage with a 9 foot 11 inch wide door that was 25 feet 10 inches deep, but backing the boat up into it was really threading the needle. We chose to use the wider double door.
We hope the above information will help others. It took us many years and the help of many to get to where we are now. The only credit I will take is being stubborn and not giving up when others said it could not be done.
Please read the article on why we purchased a Triumph.
