    Total boat length.

    Can anyone with a 5.5-6m boat on a trailer measure the total length including the engine,for me so I can build a shed to suit.
    Cheers

    make sure you build it far to big as they would change a lot depending on transom and also draw bar length etc also weather you like to store with motor up or down
    what you should do is build it to suit a 6m then any 5-5.5 will fit nicely my new 4.3 is almost double the size of my old 4.0m its amazing how much 0.3m changes the size of a boat

    Allow 10m length for access round the whole thing. Anything smaller and one day you will back it in with the motor full up and tears will flow.

    yep and id be going 6-7m wide as well for the same reason for storage room once you have a boat there will be a lot of crap to go with it I have my 4.3 m in a standard garage and very little room once the boat ride-on lawn mower pool table etc etc are in there as well

    Pretty sure I have already screwed this up.
    Shed I have ready to build has cost a fortune in quote already and that's 7.2x7m.

    Better if you can slide one into the other, but rust will be a problem, hinged you can sort of flange it together

    What sort of sheds are you pricing R93? I happen to know a guy and am sort of in your neck of the woods. PM me if you like, could do you a kitset and come up for the weekend to show you how it goes together.
