Question: Inboards or I/Os? Engines? Equipment weight? (3/4/2008)
Response: Inboard engines, but there are no engines installed. Boat weighs approximately 15,000lb's. (3/4/2008)
Response: What are dimensions of the wooden cradle? (3/4/2008)
Response: I would have to get back with you on that, but the boat weighs 15,000lb's (no engines installed), measures 10ft 4in from keel to hardtop, 35ft in length, and 12ft in width. (3/4/2008)
Response: The cradle probably narrows your trailer options to flatbeds, where boat and cradle can be used to set and secure the load. You are on a short timeframe - so am I, but can't make the distance/fuel/permits work for $8500 without time to find boats in your pickup location, let alone the non-existant returns from Seattle. Can you meet me in the middle for $10500? It will be there on or before the 19th, check my feedback! (3/4/2008)
Response: I'm sorry, but I have a set budget, and will not go higher than 8500. I will have to go with someone else if you can't do it for my target price, which is 8500 (3/4/2008)
Response: Do you know how high the boat keel is off the ground when on the cradle? (3/4/2008)
Response: About 2 feet (3/5/2008)
Response: Too tall (when on cradle), too far, $8500 rate too low. We have a rule of allowing the customer one reasonable exception to our normal, safe operating parameters (price, distance, complexity) that we manage to. In this case, it would be all three! Best of luck, when will you make your final selection, and what is your criteria? (3/6/2008)
Response: Thanks anyway (3/6/2008)
Response: No problem. Even though there are no engines, make sure holding tanks are drained or winterized, or they'll freeze en route and can crack. (3/6/2008)
Response: there are no thanks either. boat is pretty much gutted.
(3/6/2008)
Response: Wow - gutted and still 15K...that is some boat! (3/6/2008)
Response: I know (3/9/2008)
Question: What is the year, make and model name or number of your boat, what engines does it have? Does the wooden cradle need to be brought also? I have a boat transport trailer and I would not need the cradle for shipping unless you need it on your end. (3/4/2008)
Response: My boat is a 1963 Magnum Marine. It has no engines, and yes, I need the wooden cradle on my end. (3/4/2008)
Response: How much does the cradle weigh? What are the dimensions on the cradle? Is the boat at a marina or other place that can load the boat? (3/4/2008)
Response: Will have to get back with you on that. Boat is in a shipping yard, can arrange for it to be loaded. (3/5/2008)
Question: Does the cradle need to go with this? Does the trailer need to go as well? (3/4/2008)
Response: My boat has no trailer, that is why I had the wooden cradle built. The cradle needs to go with the boat for easy loading and shipping to the Hawaiian Islands. My boat weighs approximately 15,000lb's and has no engines installed. (3/4/2008)
