Towing a boat

Anyone want to help tow a 21ft, 4500lb boat from Waukewan to Shep Browns today?
We have the trailer and can do all the work.. just need the vehicle. We can’t be there when the marina is scheduled to do it and want to pull it today while we are there. Pay negotiable.

Do you have a trailer?

How far is it going?

How big is the boat?

I have used Miles Marine a couple of times including local and long distance. Very professional and careful. Don't know the value of the boat but likely worth having a professional do it.

I can do it.

I do mobile marine service and odd things like this on the side.

When I had a bigger boat on a trailer I had a hard time finding a friend who had a tow vehicle. That's when racking for the winter became the only option. And we bought a second smaller I/O that I could trailer behind a minivan to get to the island.

Ps as soon as the kids went off to college I replaced the minivan with a truck. Makes towing a lit easier.
