Carlos: My new Pacific trailer has the telescoping tongue which I remove to get boat and trailer in my garage, without the mast. I have to put it in on the diagonal, and my garage is about 20 feet long. --Gary Hyde Pullman, WA gmhyde1@mac.com M17 #637 'Hydeaway 2' "...There's nothing quite like messing about in boats..."

I would appreciate some enlightment as to what is the shortest trailer available for a M-17.
I am looking for a trailer that will fit (with the M-17 on top of the trailer) an a 20-ft long garage with door closed. I take as a given that the door will have to be 8-ft tall; that is taken care of. It is OK if in order to fit in the garage I need to " fold" the tongue to one side as in some Potter trailers.
*Are you aware of any such " short" or " folding tongue" trailers?*
You may wonder what I am up to. I am moving to Denver and would like to be able to store the boat inside the garage so I can work on it in the wiinter. Most importantly, if I get a trailer that fits in a 20-ft long garage then I will be able to ship the boat in a 20-ft shipping container when I move overseas (frequent event for me!). I am tired of buring boats and having to sell them when I move..
Thanks for your thoughts!
