Response: I have checked with the new owner of the boat and he can take delivery at the end of March or early April. Best window would be between March 29 to April 6, if that's possible for you. You could pick up the boat/trailer at my home in Asheville, NC and deliver to his home in Framingham, MA. Boat and trailer are very light, so need to be a little careful that the trailer doesn't 'bounce' too much at highway speeds. Will pay cash ($499) when you pick up the boat. Can send more specs on trailer and boat if you want. 1 7/8" ball on hitch, and standard flat lighting plug. Trailer is licensed in NC and I'll be sending the title with you for the new owner. Thanks Eric (2/5/2008)
Response: Eric! Thank You for Your Quick Response. I Do All My Shipments With Payment Up Front! (Check My Feedback By Clicking On My Name!) I Can Keep My Prices So Low Because I Get Paid When Scheduling! I Can't Afford To Drive So Reasonably Without Being Sure I Have Planned Committed Loads For My Trips That Won't Cancel At Last Minute And That I Will Be Paid For My Time And Efforts! Had A Bad Experience That Resulted In A Two Day Greyhound Bus Ride at My Expense Due to A Shipper Who Backed Out of the Deal for the Item and Didn't Bother to Let Me Know. Please Let Me Know If You Want Me To Do This So That I Can Get You Scheduled While We Still Have Time To Get This Done For You! Thanks! Dave (2/5/2008)

Question: Hello Eric I can pick up your Boat this week and deliver between the 18th and 21st for 450.00. If you accept my bid by noon today call me right away cause I'll be in Greensboro and can pick it up today, delivery would still be in the time frame I explained. I have read the Q's & A's and I must direct you to uships agreement page where they will give you some very helpful tips on using uship. I would never give anyone any payments up front. (Just my opinion). I have been doing this business for 22yrs. I accept payment at delivery. 100% legal with D.O.T authority and fully insured. Let me know if I can be of assistance. Thanks ~ Mike (2/8/2008)
