First...I'm sorry to hear about your loss! Suck factor = 12.

36 feet isn't too long for an F18 trailer so maybe it could hitch a ride with some F18 sailors headed to MA this fall as Rich mentioned.

You're in uncharted territory with a trailer lashed to haul it though! While I would also be inclined to give it a go, I would want to try it in a no-pressure situation where if something didn't look right, the plan could be aborted without great cost. I have no idea how that would work - but I would be a little concerned about the spring of the mast in the middle as the trailer/car went over bumps - that's a lot of bouncing that might risk some fatigue. Then you have the hinge point to figure out...but a $130 bolt-together folding utility trailer from Northern Tool could offer it's tongue for the front and the body of the trailer for the rear of the mast.
