[Public-list] Shipping an Alberg 30 from Lake Erie to Kingston (A30 for sale $8, 000)

[Phil Prosser]

Has anyone ever had to ship an Alberg 30?

I may have sold the boat, or at least I have an interested buyer.  I am
letting her go for a very low $8,000.  I no longer have time to use her.
However the boat is in fairport Harbor and needs to somehow get to the
Vicinity of Kingston Canada (Ottowa??).

Shipping method #1:  Drive the boat via Lake Erie to Kingston.  Is there a
route that will not force dismasting?  This seems the easiest, but the
longest way in terms of time and could not be completed until spring time.
Weather is a factor.

Shipping method #2: is just as obvious.  Dismast the boat, and somehow tow
it behind some kind of vehicle that is strong enough to tow her.  The boat
does have a nice cradle.  This scenerio could be done sooner but will
require either a crane rental, or putting the boat back in the water and
using our Marina provided crane, then pulling the boat back out and loading
her to whatever vehicle will do the towing.

I have seen discussions to boat trailers that are suitable for an Alberg,
can these be rented?  And what kind of Monster SUV is needed to pull it.
