Posted March 26, 200322 yr So... despite living in Albany, NY - I bought a boat in Miami, FL. NOW - I have to figure out how to get the boat from Miami to Albany. Of course, you cant tow anything with a rental car. You cant tow anything with a moving van except for their own trailers. What can I do? Me? Instead of hiring someone to transport this thing for me, I buy a truck in Miami too - site unseen [1990 4x4 for $1,500 - claims to be in good shape, running, with tow package]. Now, I'm flying down to Miami, buying a truck on Friday, picking up my boat on Saturday, and driving back up in my new truck with my new boat in tow on Sunday and Monday. Am I insane?? Or can anyone think of a better way?
March 26, 200322 yr well i knew you were insane prior to this..... this just helps to confirm it..... let us know what that boat looks like..... and also your adventures from miami to albany.
March 26, 200322 yr Damn, I wish you well. Why not stay for Opening Day? Might as well.Please keep us up-to-date on this mystery "good-condition" truck.
March 27, 200322 yr I hope the truck and the boat trailer don't have temporary Florida plates, you'll get pulled over at least 12 times on your way back to Albany (6 of them in NY) later......

March 29, 200322 yr have to figure out how to get the boat from Miami to Albany. It's a boat, for Goodness' Sake! Take a month off and sail into NY Harbor! :cool If you don't mind spending a few years behind bars you could make some extra cash doing it that way :mischief
March 30, 200322 yr You asked if you were insane. YES So, when will you realize it? When you see the undrivable truck or after the six tickets or when you are stuck in Florida? LOL I'm teasing you. Good luck. Sounds kinda spontaneous and well, hell, you only live once. If it doesn't turn out like you planned. Have a drink, chill out and well, stay and go to Opening Day Game and chalk it up to better luck next time.
April 1, 200322 yr Author What a weekend!!! So, I now have a boat sitting in my driveway. How did it get from there to here? That's a story and a half!
April 7, 200322 yr glad you made it safe and sound, so do tell us the wild story of here to there or there to here. LOL
