The fuel cost for that distance under outboard will probably pay for the two crane lifts!

The regulations for transit state:
The ACP has determined that the minimum
full

ahead
speed required for vessels in order to complete transit in standard times is 8 knots.

I havent looked into the trucking costs or viability, but would expect that one of the yacht clubs in the area can probably assist.
