    Albin 27
    LOA, 26' 9". LWL, 24' 4". Beam, 9' 8" draft 2' 6" and weight 6800 lbs.
    Perhaps Dennis has the air draft, but I would think it is less than 8 feet
    from the water line or 11 feet total--and this would fall under the 13' 6"
    limit.

    Look on the internet on boat movers such as : http://www.abmtransport.com/
    http://www.1staboard.com/boats/addview.php
    http://216.119.65.226/cgi-bin/mbi/movers.cfm

    /Maritime/Boat_Transport/

    http://www.marine-movers.com/

    Some of these are open listings where you put in where the boat is and where
    you want it to go and the time frame--others are consolidators and
    co-ordinators who will arrange the whole package for you.

    Several years ago I had a boat about that size moved 1200 miles and it cost
    about $1 a mile. I found a hauler comiing my way empty and I had a wide time
    frame. Be sure that the hauler is bonded and insured and notify your
    insurance company that the boat is being moved to be sure your insurance
    covers it.

    I was very happy with the people who moved my boat--they called me and the
    boat yard when they were going to be late, called me along the way, and off
    loaded the boat at the yard of my choice at 6 PM. They were off to pick up
    another boat the next AM 500 miles away--two drivers and one truck--a 30,000
    lb hyraulic trailer and a Ford 650 truck.
