I need a Top Gun w/trailer picked up in Pensacola area and hauled to Richmond, VA. late December or early January.

Thanks

bgchuby01 hauls our boats. Great service with no worries :drink:

I had to look up Ophelia.....do you even have a stoplight there? :drink:

If you are familiar with Richmond you may know "A Brighter Finish". They are a detailing company with indoor facilities that have bought a transport trailer and trucks. They are out 360 towards Tappahanock and will likely give you a good rate.

Now: Where do you do most of your boating? Our group stays around the James River and Hampton Roads area but make a trip from Coles Point to Baltimore (with stops in between) every August. This year may be up to DC instead........and where are the pics of the new ride!!!!

I will be headed back from New Orleans around the 30th of December and could make a pass through on my way home to DC...What trailer is it on and how old is the rig?

Hey Russ,

I live in Richmond but have a place at Smith Point. Stop Light? We don't need no stink'n stop light!! I'm on the Little Wicomico River about 3-minutes and I'm in the Bay. With the new boat....make that 1-1/2 mins.

I'll give A Brighter Finnish a call. Thanks for the info. If you're in the middle bay this summer we'll have to hook up. There's a great beach we go to right at the mouth of the Potomac. Only get there by boat and deep water.

Thanks for the info.

Thanks Ken,

I may go that week and haul it back. Just checking options. Do I fly down and enjoy the boat in the gulf for a few days or spend the time on the road......should be a no brainer
:rolleyes:

It's an '02 on a Myco.

Spoke with Jeff yesterday. Thanks for the hook-up.

Re: Boat Hauler
 

I will contact you if I'm heading to that area. 10 years ago I used to fish out of the Great Wicomico with the family that builds Tiffany Yachts (friends of friends). Other than that, I've only passed through the area on the way somewhere else.

thanks for calling

The Cockrells are good friends to have. Great folks....

Re: Boat Hauler
 

Sent you a PM

Re: Boat Hauler
 

I'm with you on that one...I'd go riding as well. 50/50 chance of it being cold though.

Jeff,

Looks like I am going to drag the boat back. I still need to haul a MYCO Cradle back. 6' wide x 32'long. Basically a trailer w/o a tongue or wheels. Can you handle this? If not any ideas?

I checked with MYCO and they ususally send them stacked on new trailers.

Thanks,

Woody

Re: Boat Hauler
 

I see Jeff has you handled. If you need help let me know, I am new to the Forum but am not new to OSO. Been hauling OSO Steves's Boat and RV for years as well as many other members boats. I run from Miami to PA area on a regular basis. Flexible schedule and am in FL now. PM me or e-mail me.

Re: Boat Hauler
 

for the cradle you most likely will have to load it on a full size step deck semi trailer. I can't see any other way to move it. good luck

Re: Boat Hauler
 

That is right, here is a picture of a Myco cradle that was delivered for a 38' Top Gun in Lauderdale. It was delivered strapped to a Myco trailer and then was dunked and put on floats to be delivered to the customers house.

Re: Boat Hauler
 

If there is a way to lift it onto a flatbed, I might be able to help. I have a 25' 25,000lb deck over trailer that it should fit on without issues. It will hang off the back a few feet but enough is on the trailer to support it. its a tag trailer, with dual dullys on it. I might have a car to bring back to FL from VT at some point, and on the way up get the cradle for you.
