Further to my previous thread it seems things are now taking shape.:D

Does anyone know where I could borrow a trailer for a day to suit a 22', 3'3" fin keel boat weighing a ton.

All will be properly insured etc and I'm happy to discuss remuneration.

Distance involved would be: start location - solent area - Rochford (Essex) - return to start.

I have all next week to sort it out as I start a new job on the 16th

Thanks in advance

What great place this forum is.

Jim, I will give you a call later on as I need to speak to the owner re timing etc.
I was thinking of doing it midweek, next week.

Spoke to Nigel at Carter and Ward - He's got me a cradle I can have for £30 quid too - just needs to weld it back together...

I had located one to hire - but in Southampton. After we discussed hire charges and i factored in fuel etc, Cambs - Soton -Gosport - Rochford - Soton - Cambs in a 3l diesel 4x4, the conversation went like this:

Hire bloke: "I could do the whole job for you, Gosport-Rochford for £350 quid"
Me: "That kind of doubles the value of the boat"
Hire bloke: "Oh, so you've bought some firewood then"
Me: "Well, more like fire fibre glass really"
Hire bloke: "Well why dont you save yourself £350 quid and set it alight in Gosport?" :D:D Classic

Thanks again for all your help
