Anyone up North going down South or South to North

PipeDreamsMarine · #1 07-06-2009, 03:08 PM

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..

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.
