So I might have a "great deal/opportunity" on a Prairie 29.
The problem is that it is in Brunswick, GA and I am in New Bern. NC (approx 550 miles on the water; 450 miles on the road).
I am considering getting her hauled up here by a truck. I would consider moving her on the water, but her engine is not right and I do not have time to go there and work on it.
So, having never considered hauling a trawler; what do I need to know?
1. Who are some good haulers on the east coast you might recommend?
2. How do I know they are "good" and will do a proper job?
3. How does the vessel need to be prepared?
4. Are there height restrictions that will prevent hauling? The boat is just less of 15' in height it seems.
5. What else do not need to know, wish I had known as I prepare to possibly do this?
Thanks for advice.
