It was about $3500 for a tractor trailer to show up & put the whole thing (traielr & all) on its trailer and deliver it. Also got many quotes from guys with 1 ton trucks that tow boats back & forth. Most of their quotes came in at about $2500. Good luck. |
The boat is 22' long, about 25' overall with pulpit and swim platform. I estimate about $2500.00 for a professional company to do it, but I may have worked out a deal with Mom & Dad. They have a Chevy 2500 Diesel and are willing to drive back and pick it up, and I will cover all expenses. I estimate about $1500.00 in fuel and hotel, and even if it goes higher I would rather pay for them to get away for a week as long as they are up for it.
I need to work out the final details and arrange for a marine survey. Should know more in the next day or two.
