If you look close enough to the picture of the boat facing nose first to the drink OCR, you'll see Gilligan holding on for dear life in the stern, in the final moments before impact.(It has to be Gilligan, because who else on God's green earth would be THAT STUPID...to be in that boat while the crane has it slung?)

I wonder if the Skipper blamed this one on poor Gilligan too?:lmao:roll:falldownlaugh

You might give Freedom Transport a call (800) 937-6415. I hauled boats for them for 3 years. They have recently got out of the boat hauling business,and may have some trailers for sale. Most of what they had were Delevan trailers with a few Transcrafts.

The bad thing about these is they have a really short neck on them, so in order to pul it with a tandem truck you have to have a really long slider

Good Luck

Thanks that is what I'm looking for. I will give them a call. If nothing else they might have some ideas.
Thanks Ron

We connect customers with carriers direct.
Once you get boat shipping hustle down it's really pretty easy. You know what part of the country it needs to travel through and if it can be done or not. If not remove the fly bridge. If still not then odds are you need a good captain/meteorologist as the boat is large enough to go rather than a trucking company. Super nice pictures in this thread! We are new to this board but more than happy to answer transport questions.

What sort of hull does the boat have as you may be able to build a cradle for it to sit and just use a normal drop deck to transport it this is how the 40ft boat that we use to move of the dock came and we just used our normal trailer the same as we move machine with we just took the rear ramps off
