That 185 mile voyage down the coast would be a nice 3-day weekend sail, but only in a boat you know is seaworthy! Every single one of the systems would need to be checked before that kind of adventure.

For $800 you could do quite a lot of fixin'. And if you have a few years of experience sailing along the coast through the shipping lanes of Long Beach and San Diego, and a reliable crew member or two, then it's a challenging but feasible way to get your boat home.

I would recommend renting a trailer and going slow with the project boat, both down the highway and then down the ramp into the harbor.

I'd burn up well over $800 in gas alone driving to CA and back pulling a trailer, probably closer to $1k: 4,200 miles r/t @ $3.50 per gallon (it's $3.35 here today, up from $3.18 last fillup) and 14-15 mpg. Ouch!!

Yeah, tried UShip and got lots of bids with range from $800 to $1800. I would like to sail down but not worth the risk with an unknown boat. Lots of things to go over before I would be confident the boats good to go. On the train from SD to Oxnard right now and planning on getting boat ready to be picked up this week. My wife will be much happier this way!!!

Thanks for the suggestions.

lightnsail - you may want to change your name on here - lotsa email harvesters out there that will trash your account.

You may want to ask around the marinas about trailers that are sitting around and available to use. I know that at our marina there are a few guys who would have no trouble helping someone relocate a boat.

Similarly, look up boat builders in SoCal--they have people delivering boats who might be interested in picking up a return fare, or just filling some idle time. My builder's dad delivered my boat about 180 miles down from NH to CT as a retirement activity--cost me something like $300-350, and he went home empty. He had a big dually and a hydraulic trailer that could haul almost anything.
