Hi - I'm hoping to buy a 10 foot aluminum dinghy, was hoping I could get someone to haul it aboard and bring it down to VA, rather than do the 700 mile drive up there - and back. Can anyone help?
Thanks...

Good luck with that request.

Why don't you just buy an aluminum dinghy in Va? What is special about the one in Maine?

Yep, no problem..... be right there, maybe in 10 years ..... :D

Alas I'm headed to Penetanguishene tomorrow, to ready the boat to haul out for the snow .... :cry:

Good idea tho, if you can connect with someone heading down that way that can do you the favour.

Scott - I used to boat out of P'tang. Which marina you in? I was at Dutchman's.
Tim - there are no aluminum dinghies of that size to be found on the east coast for sale - believe me, if there were, I'd be on it.

BayMoorings, right next door. Your info still has P'tang so knew you were/ had been up here. I believe we've chatted on cruiserforum.

btw, thanks for listing that Sweetwater Cruising site - I've not seen it before and really enjoyed it.

Doug is out of Midland Bay Sailing Club and up until recently kept a fairly updated site. He's writing another book so has had to take a break for that.
Lots of good info on all the Great Lakes.

Doug's an interesting writer, that's for sure. Btw, thanks to those who sent me info on that other aluminum 10 footer, but that's a jon boat, I'm looking for a v-hull - and those really are scarce.
