Truck. See if you can get a truck needing a load going west. There are
boat transport companies, and they may cut a deal if you give them a time
range. They may have a boat going East and no return load. Friend had his
40' sailboat transported from San Francisco to Annapolis 3 years ago but can
not remember the price.

Hello,

Let's all put on our thinking caps for a few minutes. I found a boat I
like in VA. Its 37'l x 11.5'b x 12'h. It weighs 17,000 lbs.

Here's the hard part: I live in California. What is the most
economical and best way to transport the vessel? Since it is cold and
rainy here at home, I am in no hurry. I could buy it in February and
wait until April or May to arrive (after all time=money).
Rail? Truck? Deck cargo?

Let the thinkers begin to think!
