Hey guys due to my job I need to move my boat from the marina to my property. Currently it is on a steel rack the boat weighs 13,000 carver santego. I was thinking of maybe getting two railroad ties and chaining them together with I bolts so they won?t spread apart.

Any help or ideas would help. Just trying to save selling the boat right now.


Thanks

Ayuh,... The hull needs to be support across the transom, 'n up the full length of the keel....

I really doubt 2 RR ties will be enough,...
