Question: I can pick up the afternoon of the 11th and deliver afternoon of the 13th. Experienced legal boat transporter. $1220 COD. Thanks Vince... (10/26/2009)
Response: Vince,
I was hoping to have delivered by 11/6, but I like your bid and it may work out. Let's give it a few days. If you can sharpen your pencil on the bid let me know.
Thanks
John (10/27/2009)
Response: My wife will be at a seminar and not get back till 11th, thought she would be back on the 10th, so I can't pickup till the 12th. Will have to you early on the 14th. If this will work will go an even $1200. Let me know. Thanks Vince. (10/27/2009)
Response: Vince,
Is this in enclosed trailer or tow my trailer? (10/27/2009)
Response: This will be towing. Let me know. Thanks Vince... (10/28/2009)
Response: Vince,
I'm still hoping to ship 11/3 or 11/4 but I'll know more by this Saturday when I run the boat and check the trailer. If it needs work your schedule may work out for me. (10/28/2009)
Response: Earliest I could pick up is the 12th. Would deliver late on the 13th or early 14th. If you can wait I will do for $1100 (10/28/2009)
Response: This may work. Please bid this. (10/28/2009)
Response: Sorry, you are leading way to many people on about shipping your boat. I wish you luck. I will search elsewhere for a load. Vince... (10/29/2009)
Response: Sorry you feel that way. I thought this is an open auction and competitive bidding. There are obviously many factors involved such as availability, timing, price, reputation, qualifications on the truckers part, and getting the trailer and boat ready to ship on my part so there are no problems on the road. All my inquires are open for everyone to see. No one is being led on.
When the sea trial is done on Saturday I will accept the bid best meeting all considerations, not necessarily the cheapest. Until then everyone is free to bid, not bid, or re-bid as they see fit.
thanks,
John (10/29/2009)
Question: Shipper, we are a legal Dot & Mc carrier with $100,000 specific boat ins at no cost to you. We can pick up tomorrow or the 29th and have to you in two days. Please look at our profile and see if this will work for you and if looks good let us know and we will place a bid. Thanks (10/27/2009)
Response: If you are going to tow my trailer, I need to repack bearings and check brakes on trailer. Possibly ready by 30th, more likely Nov 3 or 4. If you are going to load my trailer on your trailer, the 29th might work for me. Are you going to bid? (10/27/2009)
Response: Thanks for the response, it would be 1950 on our trailer or 1450 towed. (10/27/2009)
Response: I'd probably go with the tow to save $, but I'll know better after I check bearrings and brakes.
Thanks
John (10/27/2009)
Response: Ok thanks, When you look at profile check our Dot & Mc numbers, as you go down you will see that we do stop at scales by our inspection reports, keep going down to Mc and you will see it is active and ins on file. Mc# is your authority to haul interstate for hire. We would like to do this for you, but nee to do it asap. Thanks (10/28/2009)
Response: Can pick up in Downers Grove, Il 60515 on or after Fri 11/6. Would like delivery before Thurs 11/12. Can you do it for $1350 on this schedule? (10/28/2009)
Response: It will take a little while for me to work on those dates to get a truck in that area. As far as price it would still be 1450. Thanks (10/28/2009)
Response: Thanks (10/28/2009)
Response: Your welcome. We have specific boat ins, it is only written by a few ins co. General cargo ins will not cover boats. It is a high risk item for ins. If you have any questions on this or anything else, please ask. (10/28/2009)
Response: k (10/28/2009)
Response: All though price is important you should also look at the legal aspects of transportation, Uship has good info on the bottom of this page, go to catogories and click on boat transport and then scroll down to choosing a boat carrier. (10/29/2009)
Response: OK I checked. I'm impressed. Unfortunately your bid is expired and I cannot communicate with you exept to answer your question 1 time.

Question: Hi John, I am delivering a boat in WA around the 8th and would like to tow yours back down, We are fully insured for boats and can grease your bearings before going, or take it to a shop up there to check bearings/tiers etc, My bid would be $1200. thx Alex (10/27/2009)
Response: When would you pick up? When would you deliver? I take it this is towing my trailer, right?
Thanks
John (10/28/2009)
Response: around the 8th and drop off in 3 days (10/28/2009)
Response: Boat and trailer should be ready Fri, 11/6, so pickup anytime after that for delivery before Thurs,11/12 works for me. Are you going to bid? (10/28/2009)
Response: would you like me to move it for you? (10/29/2009)
Response: Yes I would, but the sea trial of the boat keeps getting delayed because of weather and sellers schedule. It's now set or Saturday. I'm 95% sure it's all good. My son knows the seller and has driven the boat a while back and the deal is made. I have even transfered the trailer title to get current plates which I now have.
On the small chance that the deal is cancelled, what would be my onligation to you?
Thanks,
John (10/29/2009)
Response: canceled or put off? I can work on the dates, I just want to get something booked coming back down to FL after I deliver this boat to WI (10/29/2009)
Response: Put off chances are very low. I'm concerned if after the sea trial I have to cancel the deal. (10/29/2009)
Response: lf you want me to still do it let me know to bid after your water trial, have fun :) (10/30/2009)
Question: Hello,
I can meet your deadline and have this boat to you by 11/13. I would be towing this. Please let me know if interested.
I could do this for around $1350, fully licensed and insured.

Problem is not the dates, it's the seatrial on Saturday. If this goes as expected the dates are on. If not, the sale is off. I can let you know Saturday night or Sunday. Also bids are dropping to $1000 fyi.
Also, I cannot communicate with you EXCEPT to ANSWER YOUR QUESTION one time. I cannot respond again or ask another question once you answer because your bid is expired. If we are going to communicate 2 ways you would have to rebid.
Thanks,
