It varies. My 2008 with short radar arch and radar mounted can fit in my 10' garage door, barely...

And if it is close:

Let some air out of the tires, or Idea

try trailer wheels with no tires.

(Really)

I don't have my 22 anymore, but with the radome mounted directly on the roof, I believe I was just under 10', so it should fit under a 10' door.

Mine fits just fine through 10 foot door, but I don't have an arch.

I like all these comments...my new door is 9'1" and I have my darling all wraped up with racks and kayaks on top and I am obsessed with getting her inside!

There are just too many variables to list: everything from which EZ Load trailer and what dealer sets it up, to how many kayaks are stacked on the roof, and if they are flat or edgewise.

A 10 foot door will do most, but then there is the high arch version and that won't do 10 foot for sure.

Lots of variables, so if your are building, make it a 12 or 13 foot door, if you are towing, go for the 9'5" one if you are buying, as the seller.

Merry Christmas.

standard c-dory 22, nothing on top. on EZ with rollers. I am 90% sure it is 9'1" but I will be cutting the beam holding up the garage from 11" to 4" and putting a 4x4 post from HD across to fortify it. If it is higher than 9'1" I am screwed. Off come the wheels I guess. I am going to do it I am stupid kind of stubborn.

Maybe you can minimize the length of the cut, but only removing what is necessary for the "hump" in the top of the cabin top with a few inches to spare on each side.

When you sister the header beam for the garage opening, you might consider laminating with epoxy and plywood, building the layers, maybe making an "I beam on the top...to give more strength.

Easy Does it, I happen to be doing the same project and have carefully measured the overall height of the rig. My C-Dory 22 is on an EZ Loader trailer with 15" wheels and has a "roller cradle". The overall height from concrete floor to top of the bare cabin roof is: 8 feet, 6 inches

Geeze Barry you made my day! I may not have to cut anything off the beam. I could let some air out to the tires. I only have to go in once to store it till summer. Thank you all for your ideas, it is a big deal to me, I am buying the house mostly to get the boat under cover.
