    Looked into renting a larger trailer than what I own figure we I cut it in half and make two trips. Just have to find out how the landfill is going to charge it with two trips and pass that on to the owners with a new quote for doing it. See if they bite, but think we are in the 4/5 hundred range now.
    Just hire a boat mover and be done with this job already.


    Any commercial boat mover would love this job, a boat on the hard no waiting for high tide, probably set you back a couple hundred plus the tipping fee at the landfill.

    Preparing the boat for the big day, remove the trailer leaving the boat propped in an upright possition the boat mover will back his customised trailer under the hull then transport it to the landfill.
