Assuming that your boat is not too long (e.g., 40' is the max length
of a
trailer in N.J.)


No it's not. 53'ers are commomn trailers now-a-days.

and not too wide for you to get a Wide Load Permit to move
it over the highways,

Keep it under 20' wide and you'll have no problems getting permits.


as your recognize, you have the height problem to deal
with. The Eastern states have 13' 6" max. height.


Actually, 14' without a permit. With a permit , 18' or more.



You might have to build
the hull in an inland location and then add the upper structure at
the
shore. That's what was done with my parents' 32' cabin cruiser.
Chris
Craft shipped it without the windshield and hardtop being mounted,
and then
the dealer mounted them.


That's SOP for big stink potters. It saves money.

You might care to try the Shelburne Shipyard on Lake Champlain. They
probably have the space and any unusual tools you may need, and they
can put it right in the water after completion.

AND you get to live in Vermont, not Manhatten. Burlington has good
bars, good music, Woodworkers Warehouse and Queen City Steel. And you
have a great relatively calm test location with great scenery and many
nice marinas. You have a choice of leaving via canal either South to
Albany, on the Hudson, or North to the St Laurence, with a further
choice then of West to the Great Lakes or East to the Atlantic.

Makes me homesick, even if I am temporarily in Warmer Waters...
