Need help, Salvaged auction transport

[R.Simpson]

Hello,
I'm looking to bid on a storm damaged sailboat since I lost mine in Ian.
I'm having trouble finding someone with a hydraulic lift trailer to move the 36' 21,000lb boat a few miles down the road at a affordable price. The auction yard wants $50 a foot to crane it and $100 per foot to trailer it. With all the fees its comes to about $8k just to move it a few miles, more then what the boat is worth in its condition. If anyone knows of a cheaper transport co. in the area and a DIY yard/ marina near Pine Island Fl./ Fort Myers area. The boat is on stands in the yard.


I have until the 12th to bid and have all this lined up with limited funds since I recently lost everything that wasn't in storage

Those fees seem crazy high/unreasonable !

Have you contacted any of the local sailing clubs for advice?
