We have a 1980 Catalina 30 regular rig, fin keel, 5'3 draft, that we are moving 30 miles inland to do renovations. We need a trailer to haul and we are considering customizing a flat bed, unless someone has a trailer. We have not been able to get specifications or measures on the boat so if someone has a Catalina 30 out of the water near the St. Petersburg/Orlando area that I could measure that would be terrific. If measures are already available that would be great also.

Margaret,
Looks like we're neighbors. I sail out of John's Pass (altough the original correct name is John Pass, for the first local fisherman to use the pass after a hurricane cut it way back when).
Save yourself some work & angst by just using a local boat hauling company.
Here's a web site with some locals. Plus they are insured.

It's only 30 miles so you should be able to work a deal. Take bids and settle on one you like...
