Thanks, Steve, for the very credible analysis. My reason for asking was
estimating the cost of bringing a boat from California to Vancouver Island
(B.C., Can.), approximately 1400 miles, 150 hours.

If you like the boat, have it hauled.

Much less expensive is my bet.

BTW, only a masochist takes a boat up the left coastG.

I don't think it would be haulable. At least not reasonably. 15' beam,
15'-16' height. On a trailer, probably 18'. Pilot car(s), overpass and
bridge clear route, etc. All too much for my interest in this boat. As for
running it up the coast, that'd be a blast. Couple of old boat buddies,
grub and coolies, 1 bottle of single malt (well, maybe 2 , a few thousand
in fuel. Priceless!
