Hello - I am moving my 2009 280DA 496 SeaCore/Generator/CruiseAir to near Benicia CA from Lake Erie sometime in March. I have owned this boat since new. We have family out there and it will get more use than Lake Erie. I already have a slip. This move will occur as close to possible to 3/1/2024. Please recommend a boat lift company and a transportation company and a boatyard. Any friendly souls that can provide a few pointers - and importantly help me avoid issues - would be a godsend. Your help would be appreciated.
Prior to shipping, the boat will be thoroughly checked for zebra muscles, cleaned, changed to hard anodes, etc. We will start checking the manifolds that right now are the original and just fine. But, of course, this is a big expensive toy and I do want to care for it.
I like all the boating activities. I will be bringing an Achilles Rib tender separately from the move. I intend to join a PCYA affiliated organization. I am looking through all the threads now on things like the delta spots. But would love to have your take.
Thanks
