Do any of you experienced boaters have any idea how accurate mfr stated beam dimensions are? I may have found the IDEAL boat for our first boat but it's out of my area and based on the mfr stated beam it's VERY close to fitting (or not fitting) in my garage door opening.
I was hoping that it's not uncommon for manufacturers to conservatively overstate this dim (at least by an inch or so). Or am I dreaming?
I'm going to have the seller measure, but I'm not sure how accurately they could measure the beam without some work.
If it matters, the boat is a Wellcraft 180 Sportsman bowrider.
Thanks again....Chris.
