$2,000 is crazy. The only person that is going to transport anything for $1.00 per mile is a pizza delivery boy. I don't think I would want him hauling my boat.
Seriously, the diesel alone would be $1500.

Now if you decide to drive out in you pickup you have the cost of fuel etc just to get there and back. On your way back up and down hills your transmission starts to overheat and BANG. Unless you have a vehicle with warranty thats another $2K+ out of pocket. Or your vehicle does have warranty, do you think some dealer in Gallup, NM will have a replacement in stock? Figure on lodging expenses for at least a week until the dealer orders the parts/transmission.
Where are you now? IMO alot more than Jeff wants.

lemme get this straight, you figure 96 hours, that's 4 days.. at $800 a day your allowing that's $3200, not including fuel.... I seriously hope you aren't a CPA or in charge of $$$$ for anything.. your offer is an insult.... that is unless you have a $400k warehouse you can sell me for the $200k I only want to spend..

Oh and by the way, since this thread started fuel has gone up about 20 cents a gallon. As we can all see Dallas just signed up on this site to find a transport, He has not even paind to be on here. Let him find out the hard way. His pretty eliminator will come to him looking like a bayliner.

That's a fairly small boat and you don't need a Pete to pull it. Your best bet is to find a transporter who has to run the route empty anyway. Even that would probably be 1.50 a mile. Gas or diesel even in a 1-ton would eat up a lot of that.
