The road is a two lane Mexican highway. I haven't driven it, but I
know that the Mexican govt is strongly considering a modern rail line
connecting the ports on each end. That would be used for transfering
containers from ship to ship. It's interesting they are going for rail
over road.

Not sure what the overall height of your boat is without mast but it's
probably at least 8 feet meaning a low rise flatbed might be needed.
You also have the issue of de masting and re masting (assuming it's a
sailing vessel) and the latter step at least can be tricky.
