You got a big ol' truck, go into the catamaran transport business. You prolly coulda hauled enough boats down here to pay for your trip (to Tradewinds) and then some.


The tough one is packing the boats. If the trailer weighed 6500lbs that would leave me with about 12,000lbs of room for cargo. or at 500lbs a piece for the boat, (adding some gear) Theoretically I could haul 24 boats. Charge $100 a boat that would work out pretty good on my end. But like I said bulk is the problem not the weight. We got eight into my car trailer with room for at least two, if not three more, but those were mostly H14's, and two H16's which tear down pretty easily. I'd need to get a dedicated trailer like the HCA has. I'm not too excited about disassembleing my FXone either.

There's a trip to S. Padre in the works for February I just hope everything comes together so I can get the hell outta here.

to south florida it is 3700 miles round trip. At full weight I'd get about 7mpg, (maybe less if there's a bad headwind). I'd go through 530 gallons of diesel which the average is about $3.40 a gallon right now. The fuel bill would be $1800! Wow, that would get spendy. Better make it $150 a boat. That would still be cheaper than towing it yourself over that kind of distance even if you drove seperately.
