Is there anybody that can Haul a boat from Stillwater Minesota to Baltimore ?
My friend is trying to make a deal with a 42 ft Baja on a triple axle trailer ,and want it to ship it over to Europe ,the roll on roll off ship leaves from Baltimore and sails to Amsterdam Europe .

According to the owner its +- 1000 miles ,we have to come over to Stillwater Mn to look at the boat and make the deal.

My truck is here in Europe ,and I would love to pull this 16000 LBS boat and trailer with my rig ...

Does anybody know if there is a company that does rental trucks ,or something that can haul this boat ,that way we can do the hauling ourself ,and leave the truck in Baltimore .

I hope you guys have some ideas about this .

thanks A.J

Is it a standard bumper pull trailer, or a goose? Surge brakes or something else?

Is this the white boat with triple 7.4's? I've seen boats like this around here being pulled by full sized pick-ups.

Probably closer to 1200 miles.

I've got a class 5 receiver hitch , multiple ball mounts and a fold down ball for goose .
Wouldn't mind making that trip .
I'm about 20 miles from Stillwater .

Not sure about the trailer ,but I think its a bumper pull trailer with surge brakes ,and yes its the white boat with triple 454,s .

it could be 1200 miles ,he was not 100% sure of 1000 mile.

Looking for any tips on either side of this story , I've seen that to do this in a non commercial way is limited [ for hire ] , I'm told that the beam is 9" , a few yrs ago , the rules went to 8 1/2 " .

Do an internet search for Mark Rinker enterprises. His business is hauling boats

Either that or check over on offshoreonly (forum). There are guys moving big boats all over te US, all the time.

The idea was me doing this on the side .
I'm not a commercial hauler .
Between two members is kinda like between friends , I have done a lot of that .

Do those large Ryder Vans have trailer hitches on the back of them? Rent one of them one-way. I did a house-hold goods move with them once, and they'd pull that boat for sure.

You've got a couple turnpikes to travel on, but I don't think they'd bother you. You don't have to worry about weigh stations.

Not to be a spoil sport here, but most people stray away from boats and high end RV's because of the liability. It's not uncommon for offshore boats to get up into the 5 to 6 Hundred thousand range. I wouldn't want to get tangled up and lose a 42' boat in the median.

Just something to consider, don't believe the old "what you are towing is covered by the towing vehicle" jargon.
