Hello -
I have just purchased a beautiful 1985 Standard Rig Fin Keel and am extremely excited to get her out on the water. But first I need to get her from Rhode Island to New Rochelle, NY. The boat currently sits on a TrailRite trailer which looks ok but has not been moved for several years and no one at the boat yard has any idea regarding the condition of the trailer.
Is it practical to go on uship.com and find someone to haul the boat and trailer on a flat bed trailer? Am I better off leaving the trailer behind? I don't own a car capable of hauling a trailer and have no experience driving with a trailer or even making sure that it is safe. It is unlikely that I will have any use for the trailer once the boat is in NY.
Any idea on the best way to go?
Thanks! Chris
