Questions for this shipment:

Question: Do you need the cradle, or is shipment on a boat trailer ok? I could pickup on 3/23 and deliver on 3/24. This would be a round trip move, so my bid would be $1500. Let me know. Dan (3/13/2006)

Response: Hi, is your bid of $1500 including making a cradle for this boat? (3/13/2006)

Question: sea way rd u.s auction?? headed their tomorrow, to pick up BM (3/13/2006)

Response: Hi! Yes, we just won a boat on the US Auction, same place you're going to. We have to get a cradle made for it before we can move it. Any ideas for someone who makes cradles? Costs? Your bid of $800 is great, we just have to figure out the cradle problem. Thanks, Dominique (3/13/2006)

Question: No, 1500 is unloading my boat, going and getting your new boat and delivering it on my trailer. If you need a cradle to dry store, We can discuss that too. (3/14/2006)

Response: Could you make a cradle for this boat? If so, how much would it cost ($1500 + wooden cradle?) (3/14/2006)

Question: Do you need the cradle just for shipping, or for longterm dry storage? Will there be a lift to remove the boat from my trailer and put it in the cradle? (3/17/2006)

Response: I need a cradle just for shipping purposes. The boat is going to the Port in Charleston then on a ship to Germany. 'The boat has to be on something to hold it until it gets here in Germany. They told me at US Auctions in Gulfport that there will be a lift to remove the boat onto a cradle. Just an ordinary wooden cradle would do, as long as it's sturdy enough of course. I'm ready to ship, this is the only obstacle. I did get a quote from a co. that would do both cradle and transport but they're pretty costly. HELP!! (3/17/2006)

Question: do you have a cradel or not your add sounds like you do but your answers dont which is it (3/19/2006)

Response: Hi, I don't have a cradle, desperately need one made, just an ordinary wooden cradle to hold the boat until it reaches Germany. Do you have facilities to make a cradle, if so, what would your total price be (cradle plus transport to the port in Charleston?) Please can you get back to me asap, this is urgent. (3/19/2006)

Question: i have facillits to make cradle but have no drawings or plans for one need drawings to fit you boat looks to be atri- hull (3/20/2006)

Question: Well, I am working on getting a trailer for my boat that has the same hull this week. It wouldn't happen by your deadline but should I get one I would put a bid in to haul your boat for you. Alan (3/20/2006)

Response: Thanks Alan, but that wouldn't work anyway because you would need the trailer back I'm assuming. I need a trailer or cradle not only for transport. to Charleston but on the ship to Germany. (3/20/2006)

Question: We are a fabrication shop and have hauled Boats for major companys, in washington state We will build your cradel on site with material suitable for fork lift set up tp lift your boat for the trip to Germany. Your boat will be well kept in this cradle. we then will bring it to charleston,sc where we live .we deal with the port here all the time and as long as you have a booking # and ship name your boat will be well on its way.Just give us advance notice ane we will be there very promt Read our profile. Dale brooks Mignweld fabrication & Delivery Summerville,Sc (3/20/2006)

Response: Hi Dale, yes, that sounds good. Just a usual wooden cradle would be OK, no aluminum or other costly material. We got a quote from our shipping co. here in Germany and they can do the cradle and transport. to Charleston for $1800 (US). Is there any way you can match this price or be any cheaper? Could you get back to me asap becaue I need to go ahead on this project. Thanks, Dominique in Hamburg (3/20/2006)

Question: Yes we can match your bid for 1800.00 But no less. You will have to pay for a lift charge at the marina (if any) to lift the boat in the cradel. This cradel will be made to protect your boat for transport. It will not be made to protect it if the shippping co puts other items on top. We take digital pictures with a 5.3 mp 21x zoom This way the boat is well documented. Thanks Dale. Mignweld Fabrication , Summerville,sc We are not allowed to give phone numbers using this uship (3/21/2006)

Question: Hi Shipper where are you at the present tme in Germany or in the USA? We gather you first need a cradle built for your boat,place boat on cradle and transport to Charleston SC. Is this correct? Thank You Bill and Bob Retired Military (3/21/2006)

Question: We need to know what your intentions are you seem to like this idea but you have not acepted the bid. This is keeping our company in limbo. You stress that this move needs to be quick. We are prepared for such. (3/22/2006)
