Anyone up North going down South or South to North
 

I'm looking for someone heading down south or comming north to transport some fiberglass parts for me. I struck up a deal with a fellow member for some parts he's not going to use and I need transport for them. They will fit in a Pick-up or suburban type truck. I'll put in a few bucks for fuel in return for the favor.

Thanks

That would be the best way to do it.

However if no one steps up try Uship.com. I have used them and pricing is good.

Hey Don, my brother will be heading from Hilton Head, SC to Toms River, leaving about the 18th, and staying until 8-01. Not sure if he's taking the F150, Expedition, SeaCraft or Jersey Speed Skiff. Let me know. If it will fit I'll go get it for you. Part II.

The parts are in Gator Country. North Florida, Gainesville area.

3-3.5 hours one way, I'm next to Savannah. Can I get an idea of size of parts? If his family is taking the Expedition, not a lot of room. I should be able to get it to Va. Beach last weekend in July, or Jersey Labor Day. Thanks. Vezo.

Thanks for the bump Blue. I think they may fit in the back of the Expedition. I'm not in a big rush to get the parts because there is still a lot of work, but I'd like to get them moving north. So Labor Day time frame works for me. Thanks for the help Vezo..

Don,
We'll be traveling from Fla Keys to Franklin, NC around the end of August. Parts won't fit in our jeep, but we do have a little trailer we can pull. Then maybe we can tag up with someone in NC, transfer the parts for their continued journey north.

Skip & Carla,

Vezo is in Buffington SC, very close to a major north-south highway. He's offered to bring them the rest of the way to me when he comes up to the Cape. He's willing to meet you and take the parts. Also if you wanted, he'd store your trailer till your return trip so you wouldn't have to pull it the entire trip. Let me know if your plans are still in place and what the time frame is... I'm getting close.. :rolleyes:

As stacked below,the dimensions of the parts are 48" long x 35" wide x 32" high.

That would easily fit in my Tacoma. Now if I could get it from Newberry to Savannah by Labor Day, it will be delivered to Pipe Dreams before Sept. 11th. Not a problem. Part II.

Re: Anyone up North going down South or South to North
 

Don, Vezo & Blue ... sounds like a plan! Lets work out the details and make it happen.
Sending pm with details.
It'll be great meeting more CSC members!
Skip & Carla

Re: Anyone up North going down South or South to North
 

Sounds great. Skip and Carla, you're both welcome to crash here for a night if you want. SC Exit 8, and 12 miles. More than enough room, just me and PITA, my golden. Or I'll meet you at Exit 8, take and store the trailer until you return. I'm here until Labor Day, 9-07-09, and its safe. Looking forward to meeting you both. Michael.

Re: Anyone up North going down South or South to North
 

Guys.. it sounds great! What a great thing, thank you for making it happen.

Carla, My wife and I are going to Marathon in Oct. to renew our wedding vows, I'll make sure we stop by.

Veso Looking forward to meet you.

Lets hope everyone stays safe over the next couple of months and this whole plan comes together.

Re: Anyone up North going down South or South to North
 

Don,
We'll make it happen ... and glad to help.
No hurricanes allowed.

Marathon is not that far away ... and providing we don't intrude on any 2nd honeymoon ... it would be great to get together.
Getting addresses from Blue & Pezo for setting up our route. Looks like the end of August for our travels. Will keep you posted.

Michael ... thanks for the special offer to crash at your place.

Re: Anyone up North going down South or South to North
 

Well guys.. this shows the power of the CSC site.. Skip and Carla are heading North today to visit Carl and after that to Blue Herons place to get my parts then to Veso's and Veso will bring them North to me.. Great people ..Thank you to all..

Re: Anyone up North going down South or South to North
 

The parts are on their way. Skip and Carla stopped by today and picked them up. We had a nice visit.

Re: Anyone up North going down South or South to North
 

Great..!!! Thank you very much. This is a great site..

Re: Anyone up North going down South or South to North
 

Don ... Not just a great site, but great members too.

We had a wonderful trip north, picking up the parts in northern Florida from Blue Heron and having a delightful lunch with him and wife Julie. I tasted pickled cabbage palm for the first time ... it's GOOD!

Then onto SC to meet up with Michael (Vezo) ... what a great host!! He rolled out the red carpet with a gourmet dinner, comfy guest bedroom for the night, and also took us for a tour of the local waterway in one of his boats. Also got to meet his brother & ride in his 18' SeaCraft. Great People!

Now Michael will tote the parts the rest of the way for Don.
This changed our 2-day boring drive from Key Largo to NC to a 3-day adventure! ... Special Thanks to Dave, Michael and Don.

Don ... I'll look forward to seeing you in October in the Florida Keys!

UPDATE...Parts are in their new home!!!!
 

THANK YOU SKIP, CARLA and VEZO... Mike and I met up in Point Pleasent at Brogans Tackle shop. Mike and I spent a few bucks at the tackle shop and I got the parts. Thank you to all, for your hard work and time. And mostly to Mike for driving 2,000 plus miles with my parts in his rear view mirror. Mike your a great guy and the next time your up this way I'll get you that tuna your looking for...

Skip & Carla... I'll see you both in a few weeks.

Thank you all and Thank you CSC.

Don
