- 2000 Rosborough RF-246 & 2018 18' Carolina Skiff Center Console
I am researching cost/companies/requirements/advice on transporting our 2000 Rosborough RF-246 with a single outboard (no trailer) by road. Dry weight is approx. 6,000#, 8'-6" beam and overall length is 28'-0". Local transport is done with one ton dually with a hydraulic trailer. Looking to travel from NY to FL mid-November next year and return early April.
This will be our first long distance transport, if I forgot to add any pertinent information please advise. Looking to find monthly rate at nice marina initially thru New Years and then travel multiple Florida destinations. Any weather windows to consider in Florida?
Found a single TF thread from October which did not apply to our search, checking a few marine transport companies and talking to my homeport marina and second marina that performs all our maintenance and local transport. Would appreciate advice from TF members who have utilized marine transport, especially for smaller boats.
Thank you;
Leonard
