Question: Hi there, I could possibly do this but need a few details to place a bid. Is the boat and trailer no wider than 8ft. 6 in. (this is critical)? Will this be ready on Thursday? I will be in the area at that time and should be delivered on the weekend. It would be trailered and I am licensed, insured and DOT compliant. Please let me know asap so I can bid and plan accordingly. Thanks! (5/19/2008)
Response: Hi there and thanks for the consideration.
This is a new purchase for me so I can't be certain, but the manufacturer (V/M Custom Trailer) indicated to me that it is 102 inches wide at the axles.
I asked as I was certain that it could have considerable bearing as to shipping.

Question: WHEN DID YOU NEED THIS DONE?
HOW MUCH DID YOU HAVE IN MIND? (5/20/2008)
Response: Hello
It would be ready to go as early as Thursday,possibly Wed. As far as price goes I understand that it can certainly vary, I have no experience in this department and of course hopeful for a good deal, that said I'n not going to cheap out, I was hoping for 1,000(+) range(???)
Note the word hoping (5/20/2008)
Question: With the cost of fuel ( Az, $ 4.69 PG ) probably going up soon it's tough for 1000 (5/20/2008)
Response: yes, your right, I did emphasize 'hopeful',but I am realistic, hence the plus sign afterwards.
I appreciate your comment.Thanks.

This is my first 'Uship' experience,and am spending much time reading past transactions in effort to educate myself.
What is your perspective on a spare tire for the trailer and the unknown past of the present trailer tires? (5/22/2008)
Response: I have had good exsperience with the trailer tires from the dealers. We dont out drive the tires and allow time for a cooling down. We always carry two spares,tools,and tire changing equipment,extra trailer bearings, and grease. Your boat will not be sitting on the side of the road. Road hazaards can happen to any one but we have not had to change any tires We dont charge any extra for changing tires.Checking and maintaining air presure,and grease. Your craft will arrive damage free. There is no other way for us to do business . I have only used Uship when our shop is slow. Our equipment is new and well taken care of. Let us know how we may help you in this move (5/22/2008)
Response: It sounds like you guys don't leave much to chance, that's great.
I'm still considering new tires as although the size of the tires are good it has two different styles from front to back, it concerns me. (5/22/2008)
Response: I understand your concern. I am the same way, as you know tires coming from a different mfg compete to keep the LOAD ratings the same. Most times but not always the tire tread pattern will change, as long as the same style tires are on the same axle you have no problems. This is why we always carry two spares with the same style pattern tread. I will bid when I have confidence our company is in a strong competition for the bid, Uship frowns on cancellations, so I try to feel for the tug on the fishing polle first..Thanks "Good Question" (5/22/2008)
Response: Thanks.
It's got Carlisle's all the way around, 'USA Trail' up front and 'SPORT Trail' behind, same ratings different tread design.
I just don't want anyone suprised when they arrive to pick it up. (5/22/2008)
Question: Just a quick question..Was this an ebay Item? I always take pictures dig, of the boat. Before I pick up if this is a used boat "Unseen" we email you the pictures First before we pick up and then only after you agree this is what you have bought do we haul it. I deal with a company in croatia,europe that buys constantly here in usa.They where the first company in my feed back we still deal with them almost monthly direct. Its 8:16 am now going inside to eat breakfast.It is I if you decide that will bring you your boat, Let me know if there is any thing else we can do our bid will be close to the others (5/22/2008)
Response: Yes, this was an Ebay purchase, unfortunatly I have not seen it other than pictures. not my plan or the best circumstances but it is the way it turned out. (5/22/2008)
Question: did you get our bid?
(5/22/2008)
Response: No I did not, as a matter of fact I was just responding to your last message regarding your intenion to bid. I was looking forward to it.
The manner in which you answered the tire issue
gave me considerable confidence. (5/22/2008)
Response: if you notice the bid in formation what you pay to me is basicly a 1.oo per mile the other 133 is what uship charges us (5/22/2008)
