I have bought a seacraft and trailer from mid fl to nc & nc to Ma. I wouldn't even think about s.fl to Ma. Once u hit north of Va to Ma expect $250-$300 in road tolls not to mention the $800 in gas or more one way. You couldn't make a one way trip with a trailer for under $1000. Shipping services on this would easily be $3000. If you could pay a member here making that trip already the extra $150 in tolls for the extra axels and then $300 for troubles and extra gas it burns pulling you still would have $500 in the move. I would sell it on CL for $500 and mail him the cash so he could buy one there before I tried to do the long haul. All stars would have to align to make this trip work out for the trailers worth.
