Berkeley to Albany. Hauling companies are quoting the neighborhood of $5500 which I'm not opposed to but money is money and I am not a rich man. Pulling the mast, putting it back, and haul-outs are on top of that. This is my most likely route. I emailed with the details after failing to get them on the phone. They promise instant quotes. Got a two word reply -- "in october". I'm still trying to figure that out. I have a listing open on uship.com to hire a company to haul but this seems horrible as well. The site says average is $4618 for that size/distance. I've gotten two quotes for close to $7000 so far. Looks like used trailers can be had for about $2500 but I can't actually get anyone with a Craigslist listing to respond. looks like they have some reasonable ones in that range. I've been trying to get them on the phone and figure out if they'll work with a delivery ckompany but about a dozen tries, they're always on the road, or don't answer, or something. When I did talk to them briefly while they were on the road, they seemed really confused about the idea of shipping and suggested finding something local. Not many places seem to deal in used trailers. Quote for new is about $7000. I'd still have $3000 in truck rental and fuel ahead of me, or else about as much for eg someone on uship.com to pick up the trailer and deliver and I'd still have to fly out again and get the trailer registered. It would be nice if the lot of us all had a trailer somewhere for occasions like this. One fellow on here built one out of an old tow RV chassis. Wonder if that's up for loan. I've been working on this for months. Wish I could pull her behind the moving truck I pick up in two days, but it's been a time vampire and everyone has sucked me dry. Hopefully other people have experience and ideas. Good luck =| -scott On 0, "ackermwi@... [T27Owners]" <T27Owners@...> wrote:
