Questions for this shipment: 

Question: Would you like to tow your boat this week, and can you have a trailer for it? Please let me know asap Thank You walbert52 (11/11/2007)
Response: walbert---I can arrange to get a trailer under this boat if necessary, unless you can find one to use instead. The boat is is Illinois and I'm trying to figure out how to get it to Oregon. Need a dollar number to decide whether to buy the boat. The guy in Illinois is the owner. (11/11/2007)
Response: If you get a trailer to tow your it would be $1900 to ship (11/11/2007)
Question: CAN YOU HAVE IT ON A TRAILER? THANKS walbert52 INSURED (11/12/2007)
Response: walbert--I,m probably giving up the idea of doing this. The U-ship people don't help us much when they suggest that scores of companies who are "coming anyways" are just looking to fill up space. You price is a fair price--it's just off the charts for me, and I will have to just BUILD that stupid boat! (11/13/2007)
Response: SORRY THE BEST I CAN DO IT FOR 1350 CAN YOU GET THE TRAILER (11/13/2007)
Response: walbert your quote is fair---I just didn't know what to expect on cost---I will plan on just building the boat out here on the west coast.Thanks for your bid. (11/14/2007)
Response: you're welcome I don't think you can build it for that plus a trailer, your time, and material and tools i might can shaved a little off (11/14/2007)
Question: I don't understand.. you say it's less than 130# but it is 19' 5' 3 high.. can't you lift on by hand, you say you need a forklift. what is it made out of and what value for insurance. thanks (11/14/2007)
Response: allstate--I'm at work now, different e-mail--please send response to the home e-mail--I can only send here and not receive. The boat is 3/8"plywood lightweight 130 pounds--so yes, easily lifted by two men. I just wanted to underscore the issue of it not having a trailer and after seeing your picture gallery, it looks like you maybe "wrap" the items which is awesome. Only other thing is..somewhat fragile? Value around $2000. Have you guys had issues getting stuff ripped off trailers on your way over before? (parking lots and such) (11/15/2007)
Response: We can't get your email addy till the price match. But no, we never ever lost anything... The driver is with the truck the whole time in delivery, it is never left in a lot or elsewhere. Also fragile items like this are no problem and yes we will put it on our trailer. Thanks and have a good night! (11/15/2007)
Question: if you still need your boat I am in Chic today (sunday ) and could get it or Wensday --did you ship it yet (2/17/2008)
Response: Razzy--What's up--give me some feedback. The boat is still in Elgin, lookin' for a ride. Grobes (2/17/2008)
