Questions for this shipment: 

Question: i may be there end of week. i have a 20' flat bed trailer 83" between the fender do u know if it will fit (5/22/2006)
Response: I do not know the height of boat above ground while on trailer, but boat itself is 9 ft (108 in) wide. You would have to get the boat and trailer on your trailer and shore it up for safe travel on interstate. All I have seen of the boat is the same picture you see. The trailer is too small to carry the boat any distance at all. (5/22/2006)
Question: It would have to be loaded at a marina and off loaded same fashion. the transport fee would $ 1650.00 plus marina charges which normally around 150.00 per lift. gary MRSTRKN12 (5/22/2006)
Response: We do not have a local marina, however we do have a nearby lake with an excellent ramp. The boat does not have a drain plug, without which it would sink- it is not completely built. If you have any other options which you think will work please let us know. (5/22/2006)
Question: if the trailer is safe enough to tow to a marina that would be the safest and easiest, if not able to tow there then we need a crain brought in and that can run as high as 600 for half a day. can you find out the outer width of the trailer tires, if under 80 inches i can load it myself gary MRSTRKN12 (5/22/2006)
Response: UPDATE to boat dimensions- the original owner says the track width to outside of wheels is 7 ft 2 inches (5/22/2006)
Question: I believe I can load it on my trailer but worried about the height, is the boat loaded on the trailer 9' or is the boat itself 9' as my trailer sits about 18" off the road, either way this will be a slow trip, if you want try i will do it for 1250.00 so let me know and i will bid, and can be there maybe friday or saturday (5/22/2006)
Response: The height of the boat off the ground on the trailer is 8 ft 6 inches. The console adds 3ft 3 in but controls are not hooked up to it and it is held by brackets so it can be released and put in the cockpit. (5/22/2006)
Question: I believe I can make it work if I can maybe remove the tires from your trailer it should fit on top of my trailer, also would it be ok to run straps over the top of the boat to tie it down for travel. I will place 4x4 wooden beams between my trailer and yours to make a solid ride (5/23/2006)
Response: Yes, we would like for the boat to be strapped down. Sounds like this will work. We prefer to have insurance- Do you already have insurance? (5/23/2006)
Question: no insurance but truck has full coverage. u can buy ins on uship i believe.when do u want to start this so i can make a bid (5/23/2006)
Response: We are flexible about time. Let us know any concerns that are stopping you from bidding. You sound like you have a sensible plan. (5/23/2006)
Question: I can be there fri morning to try and move this. I will need to bring help from my end so i will need to get at least 1400.00. if this is ok ,I will make a formal bid. Thanks. if not I hope everythig works outs for u. (5/24/2006)
Response: Will accept bid at 1400 and will add 250 if you do a good job. (5/24/2006)
Question: could i get an address on the pickup point so i can check this out before i bid, to make sure i can do it. thanks (5/25/2006)
Response: Pick up is Port St Joe FL just south of Panama City. From junction of 98 and 71 go north, turn rt on Garrison, 10th st is about 4 blocks down, turn left- 1007 10th street. Close to humane society in a field- just pick it up and bring it here. (5/25/2006)
