Additional Information: UPDATED DIMENSIONS (based on actual shipment of identical boat)She is a valiant 40. Actual Width is 12' 3-1/2 inches At one point, during a cold snap, width shrank to just under 12'. Height on truck 13' 4-1/2 inches. Height can be reduced by removing bow pulpit. Mast length approximately 60 feet. She will be shipped from yard near Little Creek, Virgina (Norfolk area) that is experienced with prepping and shipping of similar sized (and larger) boats. Her destination is a similarly experienced boatyard in Oakland CA area. We may be able to be flexible on shipping dates. Shipper references highly valued and will play into the final decision.

An additional note: This is an updated listing> Original listing was from Maine last fall, but our plans had to change. Besides, weather is better now!

Questions for this shipment:

Question: Would you entertain the thought of a water delivery?? (9/29/2007)

Response: We have thought about this, with the owners aboard, but have decided both the boat and we need more preparation before we would consider water delivery. So, I guess the answer is no, we are not considering water delivery. (9/29/2007)

Question: are you sure of the height and the width? and how long is the mast thank you wave maker boat transport (9/29/2007)

Response: Wavemaker: Forgot about the mast question. I'm told its about 60-feet. I'll ask about that too. (9/30/2007)

Question: Thanks for bid request I will not be available until mid Sept or so,My initial est would be under $10,000 if at 12' wide.tduncan55 (10/3/2007)

Response: If by mid-Sept you mean mid-October, that should work out fine. The beam of the boat is nominally 12'-4". An acquaintance who had the same model boat shipped said his measured just at 12' on a cold day, but I wouldn't count on that. (10/3/2007)

Response: I'm sorry,I have had a long day.I meant to say mid Nov.I make very long trips,I just got into a location in Ca from Me and now must load back to Me again for another boat to Ca,I think you can see I will not be available for awhile,thanks tduncan55 (10/3/2007)

Response: Let me know if an opening pops up earlier. Thanks (10/3/2007)

Response: thanks,It is looking like 2nd or 3rd week of Nov.....tduncan55 (10/4/2007)

Response: Thanks, but we are hoping for something much sooner, so unless something opens up for you, or we have no other options, thanks anyway. (10/4/2007)

Question: Hello Shipper, we are interested in transporting this vessel for you. We could not do any thing until after Oct 20th. All trucks are booked until then. We will be glad to bid if this is not too late for you. Yacht Details, Steven (10/3/2007)

Response: Steven: Thanks for the question. While we would prefer to ship earlier because of weather, we may have to wait simply to get a booking. So, in short, after October 20th may work. (10/3/2007)

Response: Good, i will get a bid together and hav it for you tomorrow, plus, I will try to put a time window to do this transport. Thanks, Yacht Details, Steven (10/3/2007)

Response: Thanks. (10/3/2007)

Response: I'm running late on getting you the bid. Just another quick question, What is the value you have on your vessel ?? Steven (10/5/2007)

Response: Steven: About 180 K Thanks (10/5/2007)

Response: Thanks, Another trucker at uship did not like the way I bid so I have to rebid, Steven (10/5/2007)

Question: shipper i can move this now, or Im open to move any time (10/4/2007)

Response: I expect the boat will be ready to move in a week or so. We can be somewhat flexible on actual date, but want to move her as soon as reasonably possible to avoid weather issues. (10/4/2007)

Question: Im ready, lets seal this deal and I will send a truck your way free of charge,ready to move on your call, this has tobe planed out to be moved. (10/4/2007)

Question: Hi shipper, Question is the boat 12/w or over 12feet/w for someone to tell you (you dont need an escort) look them up the dont move boats, you need an escort on this move it is over 12w and over 13.5 H (10/5/2007)

Response: Builder specifications ARE 12'3-1/2 beam. I was told by a friend who just shipped one that it was 13-4 "on the trailer" including a bow pulpit that can be removed to reduce height. The "12-foot width" was quoted by my friend "at one point during a cold-snap while in shipment" I assume it will measure actual over 12' on the truck. (10/5/2007)

Question: SHIPPER IF THE WITH IS 12W ANDTHE HEIGHT IS 12H I CAN DO THIS MOVE FOR $11500 (10/5/2007)

Response: It is 12'3-1/2 wide, and certainly over 12' high. (10/5/2007)

Question: shipper, this must go with an escort, I bided a far bid to do this move. thanks (10/5/2007)

Question: [removed – unrelated to services offered] (10/6/2007)

Question: Hello again. Will be placing a bid, just have to get the schedule for our available time on the east coast. Thanks for remembering us. (5/2/2008)

Question: Hello shipper we can offer to transport your boat door to door for you direct freight for $10980.00 We are a boat shipper and the equipment we use to ship boats is only used to ship boats. All boats we ship are covered by insurance and we have not had a claim in over 300 successful shipments. We only use custom built cradles to carry the boats we ship. This puts the weight of the boat along the entire hull as opposed to just a few jack points of contact. We usually ship large yachts and high value boats but also offer small boat shipments. (5/12/2008)

Response: Does this include the cost of the cradle? (5/12/2008)

Response: Yes for the quote given we will provide Transportation, Cradle, Permits, Escorts, and work with you to reduce height to legal limits if possible. (5/12/2008)

Response: How far off the road does your rig load the bottom of my keel? I know that "standard" boat haulers can load this boat about 1 foot off the pavement. If this is the case, its no problem keeping this boat well under 13-6 to 14-feet, based on other shipments of the same model. (5/12/2008)

Response: About that its an extendable trailer so the deck slides apart leaving an open area for the keel to pass through. (5/12/2008)
