I sold my boat to a guy in Buffalo and he wants me to delivery it

Here are some words. You decide the wisdom part.

1. The recommended method for re-locating a 27 foot powerboat from New
London to Buffalo in January is by truck, so I hope your sales contract did
not stipulate a water delivery.

2. Having 4 people sleeping on a 27 footer in mid-winter somewhere on the
Hudson River is not necessarily a sure-fire recipe for building
relationships.

3. Good luck.


The trip is a very nice one. We did it with four people five years ago
in June. On the way up the Hudson, we anchored one night right below
West Point. You also have to stop in Catskill, NY to drop the mast for
the Erie Canal. It's also a good place to stock up on wine, though
it's a cab ride to the liquor store.
