Question:
5/11/2008
Hello. If I understand this correctly you would like your boat & trailer loaded onto a flat deck trailer for transport. I can do this for you. It is much more expensive then towing the boat on it's own trailer however. I need to know the exact height of boat when it is on it's trailer. I need to make sure we stay under the 13'6" height. Thanks. JeremiahReport a Violation
Response: Hi Jeremiah, Thanks for the quick response. Ideally, I would like it on a flatbed, but if it is that much more, then I may just have it towed on it's trailer. Trailer is in good shape (2005 model). I will have new tires installed before the trip if I go this route. About your question, the bridge clearance (on the water is 85" (or just over 7'), so I think if we add an add'l 3' when it is on the trailer, we will be well under the 13' limit. See dimensions below. Another question, I have never done this before...am I listing this too early for a July transport date? 2008 Bowrider 272 Specifications Length 26'8" / 8.13 m Overall Length w/Swim Platform 28' 4" / 8.66 m Beam 8'6" / 2.59 m Interior Cockpit Width 89.5" / 2.27 m Bridge Clearance w/Arch or Tower 85" / 2.16 m Dry Weight (can vary w/opt.equipment) 5250 Thanks for your help!5/11/2008Report a Violation

Hi, I just submitted a bid..this is for one way. If you have any questions please let me know. Thanks..Karen Ship New England LLCReport a Violation
Response: Hi, Thanks for the response. I understand it is for one way. Any chance you could bring it back to CA for the return trip starting on August 17th +/-? Would love to put together a package round trip for around $5000. By the way I like your feedback and the other bids to date have been $2,000 - $2,450 one way. Sounds like you run a quality operation and I hope we can work something out. Thanks for the nice comment about the boat...we love it and that's why were taking her with us on vacation!5/12/2008Report a Violation

Response: Hi Karen, Thanks for the response. I recieved another bid for the same roundtrip transport for $5,000 even, but I prefer to work with you based on your reputation. If you can meet this price, we will have a deal and I'd be happy to send you a deposit to hold the dates on your schedule. Please let me know at your convenience. I look forward to finalizing this this week. Thanks!5/15/2008Report a Violation
Response: : Hi, thanks for answering..we will do it for the $5000..if you accept this bid for $2500 then the return will be $2500.00. The only fee you'll have to pay is the uShip deposit.
