| 472.1 | expensive | PULSAR::BERENS | Alan Berens | Mon Jan 26 1987 11:28 | 4 |
| In late 1979 we paid $4000 to have a 32' boat trucked from Seattle to
Gloucester. I suspect that the cost today to transport a 47' boat from
NY to SF would be substantially more.

| Try Brownell Boatworks, Matapoisett, MA. (617) 758-3774, ask for
Tom Brownell, the president (tell him i sent you) or Liz, who is the
dispatcher for their transportation fleet.
Better yet, i'll sail one back for you :-)

RE:.-1
Brownell doesn't have either the equipment or inclination to
handle anything other than local (New England) runs.

| 472.4 | DEC might help | CSSE::COUTURE | | Mon Jan 26 1987 14:28 | 5 |
| If this is a DEC move the company will pay for transporting a boat
up to 22 ft. Anything longer they will pay up to what the transport
company would have charged for a 22 footer. You'll have to pay
the difference.

| 472.5 | Beam affects quote | NECVAX::RODENHISER | | Mon Jan 26 1987 15:00 | 10 |
| Beam will affect cost considerably. Anything over 12' requires an
escort (vehicle following along behind with a "wide load" sign.
Two years ago I had a quote to move a Little Harbor 38 from Hobe
Sound, FL to Marion MA. Boat Transit was cheapest (approx $3100)
because they had terminals close at either end (W. Palm Beach and
Seekonk MA). The beam was 11' 10". Price would have gone over
$4500 had the beam been just a couple of inches wider.

| 472.6 | A (local) vote for Brownell | SHRBIZ::HARLEY | When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro | Tue Jan 27 1987 17:20 | 15 |
| re .2
I had Brownell move my 24' Pearson from Dions (Kittery, ME) to Apponaug
(RI) and it cost me about $370. They had to bring a boat up to Dions,
and they didn't want to come back empty, so they gave me a deal. The
service was excellent (I called Liz many times and she was VERY
helpful; mention my name and say the boat was Femme Fatale, and she may
remember). They use special trailers with hydraulics and everything;
all you have to do is tell them where the boat is and where you want it
to go, and they'll pick it up and put it down for you. I was very
happy with the service and courtiousness (sp?) of Brownell, and I
wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

| 472.7 | Armstrong's in Norwell, Ma. | CASADM::THOMAS | | Wed Jan 28 1987 11:45 | 11 |
| TRy Armstrong Boats in Norwell ma. 617-878-2207.
They move boats up and down the East Coast so they have the equipment
to handle long haul stuff.
Ask for Doc and mention my name.
Good luck,

| 472.8 | A&B or you might try a ship | SSGVAX::SAVIERS | | Tue Feb 17 1987 22:57 | 13 |
| You also might try A&B Yachtsman in Annapolis. They moved my 43'
off ship in Baltimore to Annapolis, but I believe they do long distance
work as well.
Ocean transport might also be an alternative at 47', probably Newark
to Alameda which I think are the big freight ports. My boat came
via "Star" lines, on a roll-on/off ship. The stern swings open
so big cargo can go inside, but it costs more than "on deck".
You might call some boat importers to get a line on the possibilities
and costs.
