Question: Hi, do you own her already? Will you be removing the Marlin tower and riggers? or, do you need someone to handle all the prep work? And, when will you be ready to ship her? (4/22/2009)
Response: The deal is closing tonight. The tower folds down. Owner is doing that. As I'm in NY, I may need someone to handle prep, if you could define prep work, it would help. (4/22/2009)
Response: Hi, We can handle every aspect of prepping the boat for safe transport! Basically, and single Item that does not take more then a few minute to remove and secure for safe transport is Included in my bid! If the tower folds down, then that would be Included in my bid! As far as rate, this is a $3600.00 move, you will certainly get lower bids here, whether or not they are what you are looking for to care for your boat is a different story! We are fully Legal and Compliant, which means, we are Insured to move your boat! We are also the primary carrier for Fountain Power Boats, You won't find anyone better. It really comes down to your timeframe and of course, budget. Let me know what you think! Thanks, Rich (4/22/2009)
Response: Hi Rich,
Well, the boat is mine as of this evening and is ready to go asap. Most of the quotes I've received are around $3000-$3250. Just curious as to what the extra $350 to $600 gets.
best,
Patrick

Response: Hi, well, from what I have seen, most carriers in this business are load and go! They will not step foot on a boat and take no responsibility for how she was prepped for transport! We are not like that! We take full responsibility for her being loaded and prepped for safe and accident transport! We put more time into it, and time is money! There are a lot of good carriers here, and they are normally the more expensive one! You get what you pay for! I hope this helps! (4/22/2009)
Response: any idea of you availability over the next couple of weeks? (4/22/2009)
Response: Hi, The soonest I could get to her would be about May 6th! Please understand, A carrier can only give a timeframe to within a few days! There are to many varibles the throw off the schedule. Let me know if you would like my help! Thanks, Rich (4/22/2009)
