[500UOTE=Bigshrimpin;229891]Frank - $10.40 WTH . . . That has to be a new record low price for a seafari. I can help move it if you have a place to store it. You might consider Uship rather than the drive. I'll bet you could get that delivered to you door for about $800.[/QUOTE]

U - ship is a good option but best price I could get on my seafari from Massachusetts to NC was $1200 with most phone quotes from local movers costing $2000-$2800. Most shippers will want at least $2.25 at a minimum to over $3 a mile so you can do the math. I rode with my neighbor who was a professional shipper for seafox and payed his Gas in a new diesel 3500 plus tolls and gave him $300 for his time and ware on his truck. The tolls up north were $200 bucks and that's going around many of them. He knew the way to save on the tolls but said I 95 all the way would be close to $300 alone. NJ turnpike is like $80 or more for the one toll alone pulling a two axel trailer so if you pull a single it will be less. Diesel for the 850 miles X2 was around $500 alone. You are twice as far so figure on a $1000 in gas and at least $200 in tolls so your figure of $1200 is right on the money but maybe more definitely not less. NO body will do this for $800 or any less than $2000. I would figure on at least $ 2500-$3000 to get it shipped to your door. You could do it for half and save money if you had the 3-4 days to ride the road. Still a nice boat for a GREAT deal either way you go. If you can find someone pulling to Massachusetts that needs a load back then that may be your best bet. Hope it works out well for you and if you make the trip yourself let me know if you need help in NC if you have problems passing threw. I will be glad to help.
