Maybe hire an old retired guy with time on his hands (I happen to know one). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuddyBottomBluz Posted May 22, 2021 Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 I do remember something about a website where truckers/shippers that have empty trucks heading back home post on there destination. This way they can pay the the fuel for the return trip and make a few bucks. Do a search you might be surprised.

Hawaii Posted May 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 Thanks for the recommendations, after making a few calls to trucking wholesalers I can certainly see that this is a “buyer beware” kind of a deal… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polliwog Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 you might be better off selling the skiff and buying on the west coast. The prices of boats are very high,so you can sell for a good price and deal with the buy side of the transaction when things calm down. It's not a good situation right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
