Hello Club Sea Ray,
I recently purchased a new-to-me boat, a 1985 Sundancer 340. The thing is in great shape and has been well-maintained. I'm sorting through a few little fix-it items now, like the bouncy fuel-level senders.
It's located close to Portland for the winter (cheap moorage), but I want to bring it to Lake Washington in the spring to its future permanent home, potentially Newport Yacht Basin. I looked into shipping companies and they want something in the $1,700-$2,000 range to bring it up here. That seems quite a bit high to me. I have access to a capable towing vehicle and have experience towing large loads. I understand that this 12' beam boat will need a temporary oversize permit due to the width.
My question: does anyone have a recommendation for a rental trailer or have access to a large enough trailer that I could rent? It is 10,500lb, but might be a little higher with fuel/water. The LOA is roughly 34'. I would be towing it with a GMC 2500HD with a little under 14k towing capacity.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Jake
