Re: transporting a T27

Re: transporting a T27

Re: transporting a T27

Re: transporting a T27

Re: transporting a T27
Well, I was just thinking about back in the late '60's how Tartan might have transported a new T-27 from Lake Erie to St. Pete. There were probably a few hot-shot commercial boat haulers back then who

Re: transporting a T27
That is not a bad idea John. I have a cradle for #328 that we bought used for somewhere < $2k and it is big and heavy and could hold a larger boat. If you can figure out how to stablize a cradle on a

Re: transporting a T27

Re: transporting a T27
Still trying to figure out the same thing right now, but moving from Berkeley to Albany. Hauling companies are quoting the neighborhood of $5500 which I'm not opposed to but money is money and I am
