Boat Transport Service > Boat ...SeaRay 360

Response: Thank you. (9/28/2007)

Response: I think its called a pintal hitch. Make sense? (9/25/2007)

Response: ok.Thank you. (9/29/2007)

Response: "this is also going to reuire multi state wide load permits, signage and escort service as well as route height planning." My understanding from others is that it needs a permit for over 8', but NOT a wide load permit because it is just at/under 13'. Also it is under the top height of 14'6", so road clearances shouldn't be a problem. Sailing it from Colorado to Seattle might be a problem...I would need a water way to do that. :) If I can find a person with the pintal hitch and teh proper truck, going in my direction, I know it can be done easily and with only a few permits. It had been previously driven on the roads in CO without any permits or breakdown (as you can see in my pic), it fits in the lane too. Not that I agree that was the thing to do, but it was done and even with everything on, it cleared lights and signs no problem. Thanks for your thoughts. (9/28/2007)

Response: I may have phrased that "wide load"wrong. See I live in the regulation capital state of NY so here you have to have a permit for everything !$$%^*&! I believe height here is 13'6" so I was thinking in NY mode! Anything over 8'6" here needs "Oversize Load". (9/28/2007)

Response: Well, good thing I'm not going east then! Thanks. (9/29/2007)

Response: Yes, but I can't seem to find an email to contact him again. Anyone know how to find an email or a way of contacting someone from the profile page? I can only read his profile, but no contact info. Thanks for writing back! (9/28/2007)

Response: You click on his bid and talk to him there. Uship does not allow phone or direct contact until a bid is accepted, then they will give you that information. (9/28/2007)

Response: But I missed the "accept" by an hour. So now it says expired and I can't see anything except his profile. And I can't find his name under service providers. I guess once the bid expires its gone? I wanted to ask him to rebid, but how? I can't find him to hit the request a bid button. Anything else you can help with? Thank you SO much. (9/28/2007)

Response: Click on his name next to his bid, that will send you to his profile, from there you should be able to get his user name or company name and send him a bid request. (9/28/2007)

Response: I have his user name and company name...but how do I send the request? Nothing on the profile page. Can't search providers by name. Where do I send the request? (9/28/2007)

Response: On the top of the home page there is a yellow bar that says provider directory. Click on that and choose a category. You can set preferences to time as member since his profile shows recent sign up date. Then just keep going to the last page available until you reach the last page of that category. You will probably find him there. When you find him there is a place to click to send a bid request. Sounds complicated but it's really just time consuming. Good luck. (9/28/2007)

Response: Thanks. Did that. No luck. Sure appreciate all your help though. Should be a way to email like on eBay. (9/28/2007)

Response: Maybe you'll get lucky and he will realize his bid has expired and rebid on his own. (9/28/2007)

Response: Could we come up with a solid number before you left? A "not to exceed" quote. This may work for me if we can. I see it as no more than 1400 miles....is this close on your radar? That puts us at $4200. Please respond or make a formal bid. Thanks. (9/29/2007)

Response: Ok will bid with dates i be able to move it (9/29/2007)

Response: The tree stump took part of the pic out. I can get you better pics today. I will check to see if I can arrange to have a crane p/u the boat. Can you tell me what you would be hauling on? And do you keep insurance? Could we do this within my preferred dates? Let me know these answers and I'll find out on my end about the crane. Thanks. (9/29/2007)

Response: Look at our profile, centurymaritime. We would use one of the trailers pictured, most likely the blue tandem shown with a 40' meridian loaded backwards. By removing the side rails from your trailer we can use our equipment to move the boat from your trailer to ours. We can meet your time line. The charge for a turnkey to deliver would be $5000 and your trailer. The marina charges to unload would be your additional expense. Do I need to submit a bid? Thanks, Mike - Century Maritime. (9/29/2007)

Response: So now you want to do $5,000 plus my trailer? I have others asking for the trailer only (which I thought you originally said) and less money plus trailer. if you would like to make a bid for the trailer plus a few expenses, I would consider that. But with the added headache of having to be on your trailer, etc., that is too high a price to pay. Thanks anyway though. Let me know if you want to change you bid to be a little more in line with the others. I do like your experience with boats. (9/29/2007)

Response: I can do the permits, but I don't know how. What do they run? We don't need a flagger. How much would you think in gas? It's <1400 miles. I would be more inclined to have an up front number with no added costs or expenses to incur. Can you come up with a number for me that would include everything? (9/29/2007)

Response: thanks anyway. (9/29/2007)

Response: Maybe we can work out different dates. Can you tell me when you would be able to do it? Make a bid for like $1 and the trailer if you like. Then I can look at your dates and accept if it will work. It helps both of us out to do the trade. It is a really nice trailer, low miles and just serviced. Everything in top condition. This has been the only boat on it, ever. I also have all receipts, service records and paperwork for it. It was $12,000 new only 3 years ago. I can count on both hands the number of trips its ever taken. Let me know!! (9/29/2007)

Response: Tell you what,If you can wait until after I get back to Maine and return to Ca again I will head out to Co and do it for the trailer.What is the exact height of the boat only?I might want to seperate the two and carry both so I can load out again from Seatle.Or I may leave trailer somewhere to p/u later.If the height of just the boat is 12'8" or so it will be no problem.I happen to be in need of such a trailer to set my son up with a one ton operation.tduncan55 (9/29/2007)

Response: The height of the boat is 12'7" from keel to top of spoiler per owner's manual. However, this boat is being taken to a boat yard and taken off the trailer the minute it arrives. You can leave with the trailer then. I'd prefer it not being seperated. What do you think? Happy to help your son out! It works for both of us. Please let me know about the dates. When will you know about next week? (9/29/2007)

Response: ok, thanks. (9/29/2007)

Response: Ok. I know the guy that had it pulled it with his diesel Allison transmission 1 ton. Just thought I would ask. (9/29/2007)

Response: I know I could do it but the area it's gotta go through is too political "they're more interested in the $they can squeeze outa you than your equipments safe shape"(dot/cop wise)which is the main reason i stepped out of the big rigs.As well as the steady climb and this time of the year.THANKS AGAIN THOUGH. (9/29/2007)

Response: Interesting. Ok. Well thanks. (9/29/2007)
