Hello Everyone,
We own and sail a CP19-3 on Tablerock Lake near Branson, MO.
We have our eye on a CP27 in the panhandle of Florida and need to hire it moved (650 miles).
Is there any CP27 owner with a trailer that would be willing to move the boat for an arranged fee?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Mark (in Branson)
OR - Does anyone know of where I could get the best deal on purchasing a trailer for a CP27-2?
Thanks again, Mark (in Branson)
Have you gotten a quote from a transporter to have it moved ? An option if you can't arrange for a move.
Rooke sails in Memphis has a Hydraulic transport trailer and can launch from it without the use of a crane or tami-lift. Lists fresh water only, so have to be lifted on from your panhandle location unless it is already out of the water. He can de-rig and re-rig your mast. Might be better to have an insured entity do it rather than a private party. Memphis about half way between the two locations so maybe lower cost without significant deadhead.
A disclaimer: I've met both Chris and Charlotte Rooke, they seem to be very competent and knowledgeable but I've never used this service.

Rooke Sails' truck, equipped with sign crane, and hydraulic trailer enable us to launch and retrieve from freshwater and do complete re-rig and de-rig of sailboats (up to 18,000 pounds) generally without dependence on marina facilities. We transport to home, office, or your freshwater site and usually offload without crane rental.
