Looking at the newer X2's, A22's, and 210's. Well I say newer but brand new to 5 years old. Anyway I've ridden behind all three and at my skill level I liked them all. But my question is can these fit in a standard height garage? Garage is 25' deep so depth shouldn't be an issue. Any other boats to consider? I would rather spend the $125/month for covered storage on gas for the boat and keep it at home.

Edit- reasons I like each boat, X2 advertised as garage friendly and Mastercraft quality, A22 bigger boat, great wake, price point is around the same as used 210's or X2's, 210...well my first boat was a 2003 210 and I ride behind a friend's 01 210 regularly, just love the boat and Nautique quality

Also my garage door is the standard 7' one.

With removable swim decks and swing tongue trailers, any of those three should be able to fit in your garage, especially if you have the ability to put it in there at an angle.

Height is my main concern. Can't find any measurements on them with the towers folded down. I know my 03 210 would not find with the tower folded down which is why I'm trying to find the actual heights.

Try to find something that fits without removing the swim deck. I had a SANTE 220 that fit in my garage crossways with the deck removed. That was the biggest PITA to deal with. No one tells you how much they weigh and how hard they are to maneuver around especially by yourself.

Also that boat would not fit through a 7 foot door. The fold points on the tower were too high. Make sure that you check boat by boat because with different trailers the overall height will vary on the same models.

I have to remove my towers upper portion ever winter for storage, it's a pain in the ass but better than a $1100 storage fee October-April.

Could also redo the garage door opening to accommodate, pays for itself in a couple years.
