Hi,

My friend has a 28' SeaRay in a slip in a harbor. We're trying to transfer it to long-term dry storage and put it on blocks. However, I do NOT have a trailer. Are there services that haul boats out of the water and transfer on their trailer? Are there any other options that anyone can think of?

The boat is in the San Francisco Bay Area and we're thinking of moving it to dry storage in a harbor that is ~50 miles away (by car).

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

There are many boat moving services near SF. Just google boat hauling or boat moving. Sometimes individual trailer owners will rent you their unused trailer, which will be much cheaper.

If your going to store it in Pittsburg just run it up the river. lol You can see the mothball fleet.

Thanks for the replies everyone!

I've called a bunch of marinas in the area and asked for leads but haven't had any luck, yet. I've also tried local searches for boat haulers but everything I've found so far requires the boat owner to have a trailer.

I'll try craigslist and keep trying other haulers in the SF Bay Area.

Thanks again and please let me know if anyone else has any ideas.
