Better than that because there is no "us" paying only you. In about a week
I'll be making plans for hauling. You can call the yard and give then your
credit card number for my boat, and I will provide you with my USCG doc's, a
copy of my drivers license so when you think it's someone elses, and even
take you for a sail, that should cover the $4k for the storage. And if your
nice I'll take you for a ride in my Ferrari, and I'll show you the copy of
the doc's when you think I borrowed that too.


I'm sure that he is going to offer to pay for BE's lift-out totally secure
in the knowledge that BE has no boat.

Sure will. All he has to do is tell us which boat and where she is....
Pretty simple.
