Question: Hello ssbn627g, BoboRolf (Rolf) here, I'm headed your way and the trailer is included. I leaving Alexandria MN this weekend...Monday at the latest, easy tow. Rolf (BoboRolf) (8/18/2009)
Response: Are you planning to tow the ski on its trailer? The zip may change to a nearby city about 90 miles to the east (closer to St. Cloud), is that a problem?
Thanks,
Bill (8/19/2009)
Response: Hello Bill,
My plans are to re-grease your bearings, check the wiring and tow your ski on its' trailer. The nearby city will reduce your cost $20.00. My departure is the same and I can modify the time a little for you. I carry $75,000.00 insurance (ample coverage)...never have used it, I drive at 50 to 55mph, the rpm's (wheels) don't spin that much...I've never had bearings go on me. Rolf (BoboRolf) (8/19/2009)
Response: Rolf:
Thanks for the response. E-bay recommends a contract, can we do that at pickup? A friend of mine should pickup the ski on Friday morning and take it to his place. Does that fit with your plans? I am fedexing a cover for the ski to the seller. Can you recommend any additional precautions to prevent road dings on the hull?
I don't want to sound too picky but there are not many of these skis left around (especially here in SC).
Thanks for your prompt response.

Response: Yes, as soon as I'm booked, a contract can be crafted via email at once, cash payment due at delivery? It looks like a pick-up would be Saturday, is this realistic, or would you like it later? I think a small "blue" tarp doubled will work protecting the bottom, I can pick one up, as well as line for fastening. Then, put the cover on after that. I think this will protect your seadoo. I haven't had dings ever before, I believe this gives assurance you're looking for, Rolf (8/19/2009)
Response: Rolf,
Are you still good for tommorrow? Ready for pick up back in Lowry.

Response: I'm passing on this tow...thanks, Rolf (8/21/2009)
Question: hi shiper' is the trailer roadworthy and good tires i will pull it back to sc. for $6oo.oo i;m form ga.thanks bill.ps let me know ? (8/19/2009)
Response: Sorry, I missed the question. Ignore my recent request for a bid. Unknown about trailer condition (with my luck it might spin a bearing after 100 miles). Give me a price to put the ski/trailer on your 16-foot trailer and let's get it done. You have heard this before but this a unique gadget and I would like to minimize the road wear rocks, etc. and get it down south where it belongs.
If you are not interested, best of luck to you and thanks for responding.
Bill
PS I am not in a hurry. My pal is picking up the ski and bringing it to his place. You can get it from him. His zip is 55040. (8/19/2009)

Question: Hi I am delivering a Seadoo to Minot ND on Saturday... it is on my Trailer !!!!....I was going to go to Montana to PU a small boat and take it to GA but the boat isn't paid for just yet and I don't want to layover.... I can pick up your seadoo on Sunday or Monday and haul it on my trailer and deliver in SC by Friday (I will also bring your trailer along in my truck if you want it)...(I have two stops along the way) $600.00 door to door insured.... please check my feedback..if this is acceptible I will place a bid Sorry but this offer is only good for this weekend!!! Thank you (8/21/2009)
Response: Bring ski's trailer along and figure a way to protect the front of the ski from road dings and we have a deal (I could ship my cover for the top of the ski but not by Sun or Mon). Reviews look good, AC Cobra looks awesome. Traveling in the a.m. and Blackberry not great with Uship responses. I will respond as quick as possible but not later than noon tomorrow. Can you send a contract once bid accepted via e-mail? Ski is ready to leave Lowry.
Thanks,
Have a great weekend.
