I am investigating having my Hunter Passage 42 trucked either to the Great Lakes or East Coast from the Pacific Northwest in late August, early September. Any information or recommendations? Width is 14'3" which I think requires escort. Art Myers

Truck It to the Great Lakes...
...store it for the winter there, and sail it to the East Coast from there via the St. Lawrence Seaway and around Labrador in the spring...or... Where on the East Coast? Take it to the Northeast, store it for the winter, and sail it South from there. At any rate: A Heck of a trip!

Stay in the Great Lakes
If it is an option, go for the Great Lakes. Nothing like them. Research teh North channel in Canada or the Straits and Mackinac Island. The water is clear, and FRESH. After a hard sail, you walk away. No need for a fresh water wash down...it has already happened. The draw back is winter storage but the reward is the clean environment. Here we use VC 17 battom paint. No sanding. Just power wash in the fall and re paint in the spring. I used to live in the North east and remember the drudgery of sanding/painting/cleaning and barnacles. Nothing here but a few zebra mussels. If you must go east, this is a good jumping off place with a great trip up the St. Lawrence or un setp yourmast and go the New York Canal way to the Hudson. Write if I can be of any further help. arbckb@wowway.com Art

Transportation cost is probably just over $3/mile
I think you will need an escort vehicle if you are going to try this yourself. You will also need to get permits and a route plan for each state that you will cross. You may also need a special license if you are moving that big of a load. I suggest that you spec out a tenative route and contact each state for their requirements. I had a boat moved from Mo. to Ca. last year and the cost was $6k for 2000 miles.
