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. Jeremiah

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!5/11/2008

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 LLC

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!5/12/2008

Response: : Thank you very much for the kind words..we do try our best! I like to work in advance so planning this far out is good. We can work this out..how about $5200 total and we will book you for the roundtrip for the dates of yopur vacation. Let me know when you have time. Thanks..Karen..Ship New England LLC 5/12/2008

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!5/15/2008

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. We do not accept money until the boat is delivered. If you have any other questions please let me know. Karen Ship New England LLC5/15/2008

Response: Done. I will accept bid today so we can wrap this up. Thanks for the flexibility!5/15/2008
