Default Any suggestions on how to transport a boat and trailer?

I need to move a 25' Wellcraft Sportman and trailer from Cape Cod
toWorcester Mass., about a 110 mile distance. The trailer hasn't moved in
two years and the brake lines are clearly rotted out so it's road worthiness
is questionable. I thought about a rollback type auto carrier but the
longest bed that anyone had was 21'. The distance from the tongue to the
rear trailer wheel is over 23'.

Any other ideas?

How about hiring a marine transport trucker to remove the boat from the
current trailer and haul it on their own trailer to Worcester? Once
there they could put the boat on blocks, or even launch it wherever
you'll be using it. Meanwhile, without the boat on it you can better
attend to the needs/repairs of the trailer, possibly even hauling the
empty trailer back to Worcester as is.

Just a thought.
