1245.2Boat also hole on land...OTP::BILLINGSTue Jun 13 1989 11:1412
    I have used both Richards and Carter Raymond (Hingham), and found
    that Carter Raymond was better equipped, cheaper, and on schedule
    to what they said they would be.  This is not to say, however, that
    Richards is that bad - just not as good.  Distance may be a dif-
    ference in price going from Hingham vs Richards' yard, but it might
    be worthwhile giving Raymond a call because they loaded/unloaded
    much quicker and it might be a break-even.  By the way, Raymond is
    one of few carriers left who is equipped and experienced at hauling
    boats in cradles.  Speak to Cathy (very courteous and obliging),
    # 508-337-5850.

1245.4Another HaulerCBS::CARVERJohn J. CarverMon Jun 19 1989 14:3213
You might also give Marblehead Trading (617-631-4650) a call. Gloria
does the scheduling. Otie, the hauler, has been in the business for
MANY years. He has hauled my boat (both Spring and Fall) for the past
4 years. 
    
I believe the rate is about $100 dollars per hour.

1245.5Gotta truck the boat upCHRCHL::GERMAINImprovise! Adapt! Overcome!Fri Jun 22 1990 15:157
    I need to get my 27' 6" boat moved to the Marblehead area (from
    Connecticut). Who would you recommend, in the general North Shore area,
    as the most professional, reasonable rate company for this?
    
    	Thanks,

1245.6M'head Trading is competentNETMAN::CARTERFri Jun 22 1990 15:4915
    I'm not sure anybody, doing anything with sailboats, is "reasonable,"
    but I had Marblehead Trading move my boat from Marblehead to Lancaster
    in the Autumn and from Lancaster to Marblehead this Spring.  They are
    competent, charge $75/hour round trip from M'head to destination and
    back.  That came to 4 hours, which is a realistic number, for my trip.
    
    Depending on the beam of your boat anybody who trucks it may need
    wide-load permits.  M'head Trading takes care of that, you probably
    want to make sure whoever does the trucking gets the permits.
    
    M'head Trading also has facilities to launch your boat and step the
    mast, all in a leisurely manner, if that's of interest.
