Does anyone have their A22 inside a garage with a 7ft garage door? Ideally someone with a 15 or 16 with the new hull/racks? A very exciting day yesterday of getting to finally climb inside my new boat was tempered a bit when I was trying to pull a measurement off of where I think the highest point will be when the tower is down. As best I can tell it sits right about 7'-7'1" which would literally put it 2 in taller than the header on my garage.

Thanks guys I realize this may be a long shot but worth the ask if it allows me to sleep at night for the next month or so hahaha.

Mine is a '10 and fits with 2" to spare but I've seen some '15-'16's on their trailers and they sure look a lot taller than mine, the closest point on mine is the center of the windshield, maybe lay a 2x4 across the top of the glass and get a measurement there

Definitely won't fit if it's a new boat... They sit muuuuuch higher than the older models

2016 brochure lists the T22 as 6'9" with tower down.

Should be room to lower the trailer and make it fit. My dealer lowered my trailer so my 2012 A22 would fit in 10' with tower up.

Ugg thanks guys. Ya 7'1" is right about what I kept landing on. I really just need it to fit in there for a few months while I am building a garage on a rental down the street. My lake doesn't open until May 1st (all you warm weather guys stop laughing) so just want it in there for 2 months. Maybe with lowering the tongue and tire pressure I can squeeze it under. Just not sure why Axis wouldn't consider finding an inch somewhere to allow this to happen?

Just adjust the splines on the torsion axle down a spot. There is a thread somewhere on the malibu owners site about how much height you lose per spline. I will likely be going up a bit on mine..

What about taking air out of the tires? If you took the air out in the driveway and then roll it in... It should be just fine... Then when your ready to take it out air the tires up again... Simple

Agreed and I will certainly give the air pressure and lower tongue height a shot to buy me everything I can but by my tape I will need about 3 1/2" of drop. That's gonna be pushing things a bit I assume.
