The top of the tabernacle is 77 11/16ths or 78 inches. with it removed it is about 59 inches. I don't know what trailer you will be using, so you would need to add that to the height. I think most standard garage doors are not going to be high enough for trailer and boat with tabernacle. Others have installed removable tabernacles and hopefully those builders will weigh in.
I would not think storing the boat on the cradle with carpet would hurt the boat, but you would need to figure out how to get it on/off. That may be a challenge, but they do sell boat jacks. Also, I assume your neighborhood would not allow the trailer to be parked in the yard/ driveway as well. So you would need to figure out the storage for that.
I think the removable tabernacle may be the best bet. I need to search this forum for the removable tabernacle. I also need to consider this for my build as well.
