Thank you very much macojoe for the timely reply with the approx weights.
The estimate I received moments ago for a tractor trailer (flat bed) is $1,100. *(Ouch!)
Thank you for the tip on starting a new thread. *A little bit about the boat. *The seller is the original owner and my former neighbor. *He took great care of it. * I loved being on it and I do not know how to put into words... I loved it. *I walked by it everyday in the Glimmer Glass Cove during warm months and walked by it every day in his driveway on the trailer during the cold months. *I was looking for a similar boat. *He called me last night. *I thought he was teasing me. *He confirmed the sale earlier today. *Now, I could drive up there on weekends and use it. *The one way distance is only 915 miles.
The web site looks great and helpful. I am too tired to read it now. *Will read it in its entirety, later, after some rest. *Maybe... I can be of service or help here one day.

Macojoe any questions, comments, or suggestions are appreciated and encouraged .

Excited,
Joe Student

Before I forget, Aha! I think I struck brain macojoe. The age of miracles has not passed...

Dear Santa,
