Most trailers for 18-21' boats are 101" wide.

I can just barely squeeze my Z7 in my garage with a 9' door with only a several inches on each side for clearance. I painted guide lines at the entrance of the overhead door on my driveway the width of my tires, as long as I keep the tires right on the lines i'm good to go.  2 years and no accidents yet.

Can't you just call that dealer and ask them for the width??

100"=8'4"...Most trailers are 100", call your dealer or the factory and ask them...Steve

you don't necessarily have to toss your local guys under the bus...but I'm betting if you send a question off to the Nitro reps they can help...

On the other hand, just typing 'Nitro z8+package width' into Google...brought back this:  http://www.dandrboats.com/searchengine/Details.aspx?diid=2491784&bvdid=6528&type=N&indid=1&sortCol=Length&sortDir=DESC&page=2&

seems that the width for a z8 is 8' 6"  or 102"...FWIW...


Google is an amazing, amazing search tool...

Z7 trailer is 102" at its widest point.

I have come to the realization that a guy can never have 'too much' garage...

I had a 901 and a garage with 9 foot doors.  had just a couple inches to spare on each side.
