I am wondering if a 26 M and trailer will fit in my existing shop.
Does anyone have the over all dimensions from trailer tip to the farthest point........I assume it would be the motor.......
I think it will be a close call.
Will it fit?

Good news!
I have a few feet to spare, never thought about height though........my door is 9 foot.......surely it will fit under that?

Re: Will it fit?
According to the mast thread, it's possible to get the height down below 9' by reducing the height of the aft mast bracket (easy), which would require removing the spreaders while trailering. While I can't vouch for the solution from personal experience, if it truly works, it is easy and fast to remove and re-install the spreaders using wire hitch pins.
