Response: Friday would be fine , my long trip is scheduled for p/u on Monday morning, if I can pick up your boat early Friday morning(7:30-8am) I can promise del on the same day(if a tire or bearing don't go bad). Thank you and if that works for you, my bid is active. Chris (6/30/2009)
Question: Hello shipper - a few questions, before we can bid accurately. 1) Is there a lift available at the load point? 2) Do you require a water launch, or will boat be lifted off at delivery? 3) What is the earliest available pickup time? 4) What is the latest acceptable delivery date? Thanks MREBoatTranport Minneapolis MN (6/25/2009)
Response: The boat can be lifted at both points or water launched at either points as well. I am going up monday to do a sea trial and it would be avaiable that afternoon for pickup and would like to have it by the 3rd of july.

Response: We would require a lift for loading, but can save you $$$ by water lauching. Schedules are tight up until July 4th, but am headed to a family outing at Table Rock MO, might be able to work this in, if I meet the rest of my family there. Am working some other logistics, will bid when I can commit to a date. Tuesday would make most sense, that way if your sea trial runs into a problem, I'm not sitting there waiting for a boat that isn't going... (6/25/2009)
Response: I am sure that the sea trial will be fine, I have had several conversations with the dealership already, it is just for me to be comfortiable with this boat it is my first twin screw so it is more a get to learn the boat more than anything. I got a good deal on it so it is coming home one way or another.

Response: Understood. Will get a bid in later today, based on schedules and discussions with wife on 4th trip to Table Rock. My bid will be $2200 - if I can make logistics work. (6/25/2009)
Question: That sounds great.. If I pick up the boat on Monday afternoon, I will del to its destination at the latest Wednesday afternoon 7/1/2009. Reasonable price to move this boat is around $1,500. I'm in the area looking for a load so I can give you a much better price of 1198.79. Thank you in advance and let me know if I should proceed with the bid. Chris (6/25/2009)
Response: Chris,
$1198.79 is a good price and you got the job if you can move your pick up date to tuesday morning. I can not make it up there by monday now, i have to push everything back by a day. You can call me at [phone number removed] let me know.

Response: Hey Charley, I'm in Michigan currently and have a load for California this Monday. I can rebid on your boat, however I would have to rebid for $200 higher because it will take extra tank to come and when I deliver would put me almost 500miles out from Michigan which is another tank. If this is ok with you please let me know and I will bid for $1375 which is still much much better than all the rest of the bid you have so far. Thank you in advance Chris, American All Star (6/29/2009)
Response: Chris,
My shipping date has changed, they had a problem with one enging and have to pull it out and it would not be ready to pick up untill friday. morning. would taht work for you.
