Thanks Brian, Appreciate the info and if I can ask one more question how dod you find getting aboard from the pier. The boat was build on the Benford 37 sailboat hull with reduced keel. One of the few things I would have issue with is the choice of engine. The boat really doesn't need a 100 Hp...

Hello Brian, Did you get to board Nonesuch when you were at Trawlerfest? The reason for asking is we are thinking of making a trip down to see her. We are being told she's a really clean boat. Any info would be appreciated.

32 Brugaum Bill is your 32 Brugaum trawler (Kloshie Bay)still for sale and if so how can I get more details?

I think your right on target with your Willard. Bringing her back to her place of origin is the best market. The driveway thing is true of motor homes and even large boats just check the hours on boats that are a decade old. The boat we are looking to transport will be our full time home and...

Back hauls have always been a problem in the trucking business especially if you can haul only one type of commodity. I didn't realize most boat move east to west that could be a real plus for us.I thought all the money is in D.C and New York but I forgot about Hollywood. Thanks

AKdoug How long ago was the move from virginia to Anacortes? Sound like a deal and if I understand you correctly your boat had a greater value on the west coast. Thanks for the info!

Thanks for the supportive words and the funny thing is this is the second time we ran into problems on moving a boat we fell in love with. The first one was a Seaton that we went to the Maryland to check her out and we both said this is the one. We went back to our home port in Maine to see if...

Just wanted to thank everyone for there input and unless something big changes we will try and keep our searches on the east coast or find short and skinny boats. Thanks, Again

Thanks Captain Jerry, I am looking into the boat shipping thing.

Still looking into the ship thing. Its done quite often here in Maine to the other side of the pond.

Healhustler I guess we have something in common in an earlier life I also was involved in moving very large things around the country. The company I was with supplied all the custom trailers and custom trucks to Sea Ray Boat. But being out of it for a long time I guess I am also out of touch on...

Wow Skidgear your sure your not a lost brother I not only document and verify but also take photos of everything both before and after. I can't tell you how much grief, money and heartache that has save me and other.I think this part of your advice can benefit all on the forum. As far as you...

Thanks BFC for the impute but unfortunately this boat doesn't have a flybridge and not a whole lot can be removed. The 14 foot is with everything removed. Thanks, Peapod

CP seudonym We have been on more boats here in Maine then there are mosquitoes ok maybe not that many but a lot but just like where we choose to rest our heads we are looking for that special one. That being said your right about it being a whole lot cheaper and easier but I don't seem to know...

The reason for the post was to get input on shipping a boat thats 14 foot high. Anything thats 13.6 or lower on a trailer is not a big issue as long as your not too wide.I need to get her at least as far as the Mississippi.

Does anybody have any experience with shipping a trawler thats 14 feet tall from the west coast to the east coast or am I nuts for even thinking about it. The quotes I am getting are all over the place. My leader is in love with it and its the first time she has said that. Thanks...

Thanks for the updates on the names and if i can help in anyway let me know.it sure is great when some keeps good records when they make long passages it show what a long slim boat can do.

Wow another scout to all to my list. Smedley-on-the-nile is pahoo the name she has always carried? You know i have been out of the engine building loop for a long time because when i heard the rebuild price i almost fell over but at the same time well worth it. Hope we get to see more photos.

Thanks for the great photo the scout are few and far between but the inclosed cockpits are rare

Captain gary sure would love to see some photos of your scout, you don't see many with the full enclosure.

Amen on that because the last thing i want on my boat is dirt and that why i suggested if they wanted fresh green stuff to eat get in your dink and eat some of those sea veggies. And the best part is if you paddle, row,or walk it might just help us from being planted too soon, if you know what i...

I guess my response was too serious but i do like the taste of those ocean weeds.

Has anyone had any experience with Mascoat for insulating a metal boat hull to prevent condensation and and keep some warmth in. I already know what the manufacture claims i am looking for real world experience. Thanks

Don't grow them pickem HAVING BEEN A GARDNER ALL MY LIFE AND STILL GROW MOST OF WHAT WE EAT I THINK YOU SHOULD LOOK INTO WHAT GROWS ALONG THE SHORE THAT IS EDIBLE. WE LIVE ON THE COAST OF NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND AND OTHER THEN THE DEAD OF WINTER THERE IS PLANTY TO EAT ALONG THE SHORE. NOT KNOWING...

Thanks a sad but great read.
