That cruising speed matches my plan.

It's 20 feet tall. I feel that's too tall to truck reasonably. Open to thoughts on that though.
Please note these items...
- It's 20 feet tall
Have you measured it from keel to top of fixed structure?
Or at least measured from waterline to top of fixed structure?
- That cruising speed is for a very clean boat with a 135 hp engine and good prop.
- The add says it was hauled 5 years back, your initial post says that the thru hulls are original.
- You have no real idea what the prop, strut, shaft, cutlass etc looks like
- No sea trail numbers
- Does your insurance have a clear rider on cruising this boat in the NE in the winter months? (in writing)

I would price moving it by land ...lift it onto the truck ...move and then block it at the destination.
This cost would be offset by hauling now, seatrails, a captain, fuel polishing now ,trip prep costs ,trip issues, trip time and the possible breakdown or delay miles away from home port for days/weeks/ or months.
