I'm looking into several alternate methods of getting my boat East without
doing the damn canal again. Across Canada to the Great Lakes (Vancouver to
???) , Across N. USA to the Great Lakes (Seattle or up the Columbia aways to
Duluth, Minnesota, Across middle USA from Sacramento to . .. ?, Across S.
USA San Diego to Houston.

What does Mexico have to offer? I asked because someone mentioned San
Carlos to San Diego and it got me wondering?

How big a boat? I trailered my 26' cruiser (13' tall, 9.5' wide,
10,000#) from Seattle to Minnesota three times without problems. Lots of
gas, but no problems. The Rockies are tall (especially around Bozeman,
MT), long and 6% grade sometimes, the roads are always bad in Idaho, but
it was worth it.

33' LOA 31' LOD, 9 1/2' Beam, about 8' high keel to cabin top with mast
down. 7 tons or so. I'm thinking along the same lines but don't know the
height, width, etc. restrictions. Might be able to a. rent a hauling unit
or b. use a flat bed low boy truck. It's a twin keel boat so not difficult
to block and brace. Westerly Berwick. Cost to cross Canada Richmond, BC to
Sault Ste. Marie is $3600 US $5500 Canadian. This includes all permits and
insurance etc and I could get it in the water even sooner. Sounds cheaper
than going through the panama canal again considering costs,time, wear and
tear.
