fly out and tow back ?
 

anyone here have any experience flying out and towing a boat back if so what did or can you rent to tow say a 24 -26 ft boat will uhual rent a truck for towing one way?

Enterprise rents some bigger trucks, but you will have to get a hold of their commercial division.

ALL U-Hauls have welded on 2" balls, which is probably not correct or ideal for your trailer. Most of the trucks are beat to death, and they are all underpowered for even their own empty weight; not to mention the governor which sometimes makes you a sitting duck on the freeway. I'd never attempt this.

yeah thats what i thought i was hoping someone would come up with something like renting a suburban or pickup from a rental place does not look like that will happen thanks . guess i will drive my truck out if the deal goes through

Ryder and Penske rent 1 ton vans one way. Or you could rent the 14 foot box trucks

a 1 ton van would be ok i am going to do some more calling around on monday

Where are you flying out to? By the time you pay for the airline ticket, transportation to the van rental co. They're not usually at airports. Rental of the van, crappy fuel mileage on the way back, and alot of discomfort, what did you save? I've taken many long road trips to pick up alot of different things, cars, tractors, boats, ect. and it's much better knowing that the vehicle I'm driving is up to the task at hand. Why not just have it transported for you?

I am with Fire. Do the math. For the few of hundred $ you save? Have it brought to you.

ya i agree with you guys on the math deal but i would like to do the road trip and visit a few old friends and make a vacation out of it not trying to save money i just dont think i want want to do both ways but i mite do that and take different route out and back make it interesting . trip would be to az

Find a closer boat :D
