Hi Folks,
Could you 25' Walkaround or Revenge owners tell me approximately how high your boats are when sitting on a trailer? I'm contemplating building a boat house, and want to understand what it would take to accommodate a larger boat. I have no plans to buy another boat, only sell the 2 extras I have now. It just seems to make sense to plan for larger just in case.
Dennis,
I measured my 1979 22' Revenge from the hard top I installed. It is at 10' and with radar I figure 11 1/2' of height. I am purchasing an insta-shed for it. My footings will be 1 ft. above grade, insta-shed with sides at 10' peak 12' center arch (which will be finished height of 11' and 13' respectively). I hope this helps.

My 25 Outrage with radar arch is 11'-3" hieght on trailer. For a boat like a 25, I would recommend a garage door no smaller than 10' wide and 12' high.
I must have a tall radar arch or radar, as my Outrage 25 with radar arch is 13' 2" to the top of the all around light, which is a few inches above the radar top.
I don't know how this would translate to a Revenge.
California has a height clearance of 13' 6" and I believe most of the states are similar (you should check up or determine your routes of travel). I purposely kept mine under 11' 6". My top navigation light swivels down to maintain the lower height. If you design the building around legal towable height you would be more than covered for any vessel.
