Questions for this shipment:

Question: Is the width and weight correct? (8/24/2009)

Response: Yes within a foot and 150 lbs.. (8/24/2009)

Response: The only hold up for me would be the width. Anything over 8'6" requires permits. If you can measure and verify the width is 8'6" i will bid. Thanks. (8/24/2009)

Response: I will check and measure exactly... I am pretty sure it is smaller than that.. (8/24/2009)

Response: Ok thanks (8/24/2009)

Response: The Width of the boat is Exactly 8 ft at widest point with trailer. (8/25/2009)

Response: Ok, thanks (8/25/2009)

Question: What pickup and delivery dates and times are you wanting? (8/24/2009)

Response: The only thing I need is for the boat to be delivered in VA by the 15th of Sept.. The boat should be ready for pick up by the 10th 11th or 12th.. (8/24/2009)

Question: we will be heading north on the 11th of sept and could tow it up for $725. please check out our profile and customer feedback and let us know if we may be of service. (8/24/2009)

Response: Your reply is appreciated.. I will consider it .. let me make sure it will be done by the 11th.. Thanks for getting back with me.. (8/24/2009)

Response: thank you for your quick reply. (8/24/2009)

Response: Your welcome (8/25/2009)

Question: Great boat! (I have a 29, twin 200 rice burners). Buck a mile, you handle the costs of the permits. Capt(USCG)Dale (8/24/2009)

Response: What kind of permits will be needed? I am unsure about towing out of the state of fla.. (8/24/2009)

Response: Steven, I'm pretty sure that beam is a "no permit" beam. If your ready to make a deal, my buck a mile is my word. Capt Dale (Let me know and I'll bid, you accept-then we can discuss further!) (8/24/2009)

Response: The Width of the boat is Exactly 8 ft at widest point with trailer. (8/25/2009)

Response: STEVEN, THOUGHT SO! WANT ME TO REBID? (8/25/2009)

Response: Sure.... (8/25/2009)

Response: Capt, OK, there is is, and is good until 1800 hours tonight for scheduling purposes. (8/26/2009)

Question: Cap'n, Yellowfin sez the beam is 8-8, but I feel sure it is 8-6. Two inches over minimum permit width makes no sense. I'll standby my bid, which is good for 24 hours. Capt Dale (8/24/2009)

Response: The Width of the boat is Exactly 8 ft at widest point with trailer. (8/25/2009)

Question: Hi, Please check my profile and feedback. I can transport your Yellowfin if the width is a max of 8'6" anything over that requires permits. I can meet your dates on pick up and delivery. $975 door to door. Let me know and I will place a bid. Thanks, Gary B (8/24/2009)

Response: The Width of the boat is Exactly 8 ft at widest point with trailer. (8/25/2009)

Response: Hi, This is Gary B. Thanks for the reply on the width. I will place a bid. Gary B (8/25/2009)

Question: Capt Steven, your profile sez you are in Key West. Are you a USCG Captain, and are you a broker? (8/24/2009)

Response: Yes I am a Captain, No I am not a broker I do live in Key West The Boat will be in Sarasota to be picked up. (8/25/2009)

Question: I ask, because Yellowfin doesn't make a 23 ft'r with a beam wider than 8-6. I'm cancelling my bid, until this shipment is clarified. Doesn't seem "kosher"! (8/24/2009)

Response: Ok, I understand.. I was adding the extra little width for the trailer as it may be a bit wider than the boat.. (8/24/2009)

Response: Boat trailers are manufactured to meet federal standards. Eight feet, 6 inches wide is the maximum width. Anything wider than that is considered a "wide load", and most states charge a surcharge for the extra width. I'm confused as to why your profile says you are in Key West, yet pickup and delivery destinations are otherwise. When I feel good about this "load" I will rebid with no extra charge for the education. Tks. Good Luck. Capt(USCG)Dale (8/24/2009)

Response: Dale, I own the boat, I am trailering the boat to Sarasota tonight. Yellowfin is reconditioning the boat for my resale to a guy in VA. I need someone dependable to haul it to VA and deliver to my buyer... Pretty easy... (8/25/2009)

Response: STEVEN, GOTCHA! LET ME RECHECK OUR SCHEDULE. WHAT'S THE LATEST DATE WE CAN DELIVER? DALE (8/25/2009)

Response: Latest date... It has to be in his hands no later than Sept 15th.. (8/25/2009)

Response: STEVEN, OK. WE GUARANTEE IT! CAPT DALE (8/26/2009)

Question: Further, if you "plumbed" the beam of an 8-6 wide load with the oustide of the trailer fender, you will find it to be exactly 8-6. (8/24/2009)

Response: The Width of the boat is Exactly 8 ft at widest point with trailer. (8/25/2009)

Response: STEVEN, WHO'S PAYING FOR THE SHIPMENT? DALE (8/25/2009)

Response: I will be paying for it.. (8/25/2009)

Response: Either Glenn or I will handle it for you. (He's my son). Dale (8/25/2009)

Response: Are you able to bid again on my shipping? I am able to make a choice now and your company seemed to be best.. (9/2/2009)

Response: CAP'N, PROBABLY, BUT WITH THIS DELAY WHAT KIND OF DEL DATE ARE WE FACING? DALE (9/2/2009)

Question: Hey Capt! I'll do this for you on the 13th for $900. Please check my feedback! I've been a "Service Provider" since uShip began! (2004) Thanks! Glenn (8/25/2009)

Response: OK, Steve, 3P is fine. Tks! Dale (8/27/2009)

Question: Steven, picked up a motorcycle going to VA, so I can reduce my bid a little. We do need to know asap, to get you scheduled! I can make this bid good until 5 PM, est, today. Tks, Dale (8/27/2009)

Question: Good morning. I expect to complete my current Florida bound run next Thursday(9/3) and am now scheduling pickups for my return run nouth, with final nouth bound deliveries expected within 8 days(depending, of course, on how quickly I can fill a load). If this time frame could meet your needs on this, and the trailer is fully roadworthy, including current tags, I can get this delivered for you for 750, paid at pick up via PayPal(preferred). If you would be so considerate, please let me know either way as soon as possible, so I can know whether to persue this further, or focus my efforts elsewhere. Thanks, Howard. Please review my profile and feedback, as you should do with any bidder you may consider-it really does tell the history of the provider. Also. please note that I have NOT YET submitted the formal bid, but will await your reply before doing so. Again, Thank You (8/27/2009)

Question: Sorry Capt my bad, we will tow your trailer after checking bearings and tires, it will be towed with a Chevy Duramax diesel (9/4/2009)

Response: Sounds great..Same truck I have.. I towed this package from Key West to Sarasota last week Before I left I lifted the trailer and rolled the rims to listen for a bad bearing.. They all sounded good.. Also at the end of Aligator ally I checked for heat.. No issues.. the tires are less than 2 years old and well maintained. with less than 1000 miles on them total. Brakes are stainless disc (front only).. twin axyl trailer.. Hope that helps.. I am going to accept your bid in hopes that you can do the job. The boat should be ready for pickup next week if that is ok.. Also the owner (your delivery) will have the boat fully insured. FYI.. it will need a strap for the rear tie down. (9/4/2009)
