right now i have 174 sleds and 163 sleds but would like expansion for 4 174 sleds....and who knows what the future holds :D

anyways i realize they are about 12' long tip to tip but i dont feel like lining up the different combos to figure it out.

im thinking 26-28?

I have a 28, and can comfortably hold 4 151's. I'm thinking for 174's you'll need closer to a 32'.

Here's a pic, with 151's in it.

N Summitrics 28 ft would (should) four 4 - 174" sleds - might be a bit tight but we currently haul 5 long track on a regular basis.

True enough. I can put 5 - 151's in mine too. But I honestly think I would be hard pressed to put 4 - 163's in. I have never tried.

You need to snug them up into the "V" nose a bit or maybe back the front ones in. When we load 5 we have to back some in to make it work.

Good point!!!!!!!!!

Back all 4 174's in tight to the V, and you might just Doo it.

It's all a guessing game until you try it.
Backing in with sleds with reverse is a breeze - now my 01 Poo is a bit of work cause we have to manhandle it...lol...

LOL.....The another reason I got rid of my 00 Poo, an bought a Rev with rewind.

My REV 159" is exactly 12' from ski tip to bumper, I measured last spring for a single trailer with a tailgate ramp, so I figure yours would be a wee bit longer

Maxwell,

You can go with a 7' X 29' or a 8'.5" X 30'. You stagger them in a 7 Wide and will definately need 24' of straight wall to put them ski to bump in a 8.5 wide. We run a 6' V-Nose in our 8.5 hence the 24' + 6' = 30'

Or I could build you one of these 7' X 31', pretty popular down south.

4 - 174" should be easy..... We put 5 long tracks(3 - 162", 1 - 163", and 1 - 156") inside our 28 footers, no problem.... Put the 2 front sleds up into the v as far as you can, then the other 2 behind, and you'll have lotsa room with 174's on

See - I knew I wasn't drunk when we did this.
I'll have to take a look at home Ric, I'm sure I have a photo of this set up
