So............how to cheaply get my 8000 lb boat to Seattle............

Sail it there. The Panama canal is spectacular.

For a 29 footer it would be cheaper to buy one in Seattle and sell it
when you were done.

BTW, the trip your wife is proposing is actually quite nice. We did
the same route with Princess Cruise/Tours last year and had a great
time. They offer a lot of side trip options which are very good,
albeit pricey. We did a small plane circumnavigation of the Denali
summit and surrounding peaks from Talkeetna; a helicopter ride to the
Mendenhall Glacier outside of Juneau; a jet boat excursion through the
eagle preserve on the Chilkat River; and a float plane excursion and
landing back into Misty Fjords east of Ketchikan. The cruise ship
itself visited College Fjords and Glacier Bay ending up in Vancouver
via the Inside Passage.
