Post Added length...
I'd hate to buy myself a boat and not be able to fit it in my garage so:

Outside of longtails what do the surface drive motors add to the length of the boat?

Mud Buddy:

Gator Tail:

Pro Drive:

If you have a transom that is straight across, most of the long tails will let you spin them around so the tail sits in the boat.

ProDrive is gonna be the shortest. Get a carport or a tarp.

Mud buddy, GTR, GDSD will all add + - 3 feet. You can turn it all the way to one side and it will probably be less that 2 feet.

Just turn it all the way, handle sticking out to a side won't be too much of an issue. will maybe add a foot and a half. This was an issue with me too, turns out I just keep it in the yard. Nothing a lock, chain, and motor cover can't do.

just back up into your garage until the tongue clears the door. Then get you a dust pan and a broom. Or build a lean to shed

The trailers w/ the hinged tounge is also an option to give more room in the garage.
