Questions for this shipment: 

Question: hi, will tow searay for $1300. the grady would need permits and wide load sign. if ok i will formally bid. can pickup anytime right now. (9/27/2006)
Response: Jim What would you charge for the grady? I assume you would make 2 trips? is that right? Dick (10/2/2006)
Question: Conn. will not allow you to transport 2 boats on the same truck when 1 is oversize. Also a stinger semi boat trailer is the only 1 capable of transporting both at the same time. (9/29/2006)

Response: Cliff Thanks for your interest. the grady is the larger boat and is a 2000, Sailfish. it's official length is 27', but with the bow pulpit and outboards, it's closer to 30'. The 24 sea ray is about a 2001, express with a single inboard/outboard engine. Happy to answer any other questions. Dick (10/1/2006)
