Looking at buying a new RT188P, decked out w/ the Mercury Pro SX and Power Pole option.  However, having difficulty finding out the overall storage length (tongue swung open) in the configuration after speaking with 2 different dealers and White River Marine Group (Ranger parent company).  I have 22' 2" to work with in the garage in my current home.

It's my understanding Ranger offers either a Manual Jack Plate (reported to be 6" setback) or the TH Marine Micro Jacker (website lists 4" setback).  Youtuber Mike Gilbert over at Working Class Zero posted a video about his new RT188P.  He was kind enough to respond to an email I sent and said he went with the manual jack plate and it didn't quite fit his 22' garage straight in.

Ranger reports the storage length w/out jack plate to be 21' 8".  Anyone have a similarly equipped RT188P that could possibly measure and confirm the actual storage length?

Thanks much!
