Response: Yeah, yeah, it's because of the mast. I suppose there is a way to take it apart??

I just want you to know that I sort of have someone in mind already though. He's doing it for under $5000.00 and has many positive remarks. Thanks. (12/11/2007)

Response: How close can you come to the price?I am going to Nc to load monday and retuirn to Kemah Texas with a couple of Grady Whites.I sure would like to get down asap to load yours.The holiday period will interfere a little but I do live in Texas and will make it work for you and I.tduncan55 (12/16/2007)

Question: Also'the big move I had in January is gone...I am available as soon as I get back from Nc and unload in Kemah Texas,not far from yours...tell me your idea on price...If you commit today I will leave early to Nc to get it back in time to at least load yours.We will not be able to get permits during Christmas but can adjust to leave asap afterwards to beat New Years restrictions.I will lower some because I will be closer to you now.tduncan55 (12/16/2007)

Question: do you need a quote for preparation of the transport or transport only, the boat will need to be demasted and lifted on and off my trailer I can arrange all services but let me know transport only will do around 4000 (12/16/2007)

Question: Hi shipper,We are delivering a boat to the Houston area Dec 22 and could pick you boat up then or after Christmas as we are based in south Texas. Our scedule is flexible.Thanks,John(houseofboats) (12/17/2007)

Question: Sorry we are new to u-ship. We have only shipped one time using this service. That feedback was very positive. We have been in the boat transport business a long time and I can provide you with many other references. Check picture #3 on our profile. That is a boat similar to yours that we shipped to Ottawa, Canada 2 weeks ago.John (houseofboats). (12/17/2007)

Question: Hello again,I am available soon,I am in NC picking up to Seabrook/Kemah Tx area,unloading by the weekend.I can load after that if you desire,but I need to communicate to set up....I have to start booking somethiung into next year.tduncan55(ThomasDuncanTrucking) (12/18/2007)

Response: Hi, In case you need more information about the boat, I have included the following link: http://www.yachtworld.com/core/listing/boatFullDetails.jsp?boat_id=1328094&ybw=&units=Feet¤cy=USD&access=Public&listing_id=1361&url= Also, I looked at you recommendations and it seems that you have indeed moved some big sailboats. Sorry bout wasting you time with my earlier message. Also, I would like to let you know that my girlfriend initiated this conversation, however, I am taking over since she does not have all the details of the move. So, if you feel you are now talking to a different person, you are. :-) Thanks, Jim (12/18/2007)

Response: Thank you Jim,I am in NC loading to Seabrook Tx to unload Friday....Lets stay in touch....Let me know as soon as you can,I have nothing sheduled and I am working toward a boat in San Diego that this will work well ahead of.The haul will be no problem.I can load up as soon as you are ready,any concerns you may have just let me know.tduncan55 (12/19/2007)

Question: If T Duncan can't get this boat moved for you, we can. We will have trucks avaiable the first week of the year. Will this fit into your schedule?? (12/18/2007)

Question: I love the question"is it 60' tall because of the mast?" (12/19/2007)

Question: Yes I have no problem with the height.Sometimes what ever can be removed to lower height easily is neccessary.We will be allowed up ton 16' overall loaded height to the west from Texas before a front escort would be required.14'overall loaded height would be ideal.The boat keel will be aprox. 1'3" from the surface of the road when loaded.The problems really start going east because of the eastern structural areas were built ahead of the west and the infrastucture isn't as high as the west.I do not think it was anticipated that larger loads would be shipped as are today.I will start off the year with yours if as soon as you can let me know a date.If it will be some time yet I may run a load or two in between,If my offer is acceptable please accept when ready and we will be able to communicate and shedule.Thanks stay in touch...tduncan55 (12/19/2007)

Question: Jim,I have secured a San Deigo to Texas load that I felt would come thru.Let me know what you have in mind,I have reduced the price considerably here...I sure can use the load to go that way if you can move now to 1st part of Jan.please inform me as I will need to find something out that way when he gets ready.By the way it is a beautiful boat.thanks tduncan55 (12/19/2007)

Response: Hi, It looks like the date for the move from TX is January 16th. Does that work for you? Thanks, Jim (12/21/2007)

Response: Thanks,Jim This will work,I may get to the San Deigo one first, then work yours after.I have reduced the price already so be aware that the 5% off (see profile)will not apply at this price.I need commitment from you by accepting bid now in order to shedule...thanks again tduncan55 (12/21/2007)
