I don’t see anything wrong with putting a conventionally planked wood boat on a truck, but that’s just my opinion, and I have never owned a wood boat, although I have worked on a few.

As far as route goes you would have to cross the southern shore of Lake Superior, then Lake Huron, the Detroit River, Lake Erie and finally the NY Canal system. Lots of weather window watching on the lakes - I would hate to have a schedule

After that down to Cape May offshore, another weather window watch. Up the Delaware, yet more weather window watch, the C&D Canal, and the Chesapeake. Easy times in the ICW to Charleston as long as you watch the weather on the Ablemarle and Pamlico sounds.

Fun trip. How fast do you think you can go at cruising speed?

When to start? I don’t know, not being a Great Lakes sailor. It doesn’t really matter when you end. Boating is year round in the Carolinas.
