Perfectly! They scheduled the delivery on their truck's return trip, so got the discounted rate. they notified both marina's before pick and delivery; and the cradle arrived even ahead of the estimated time frame they gave me. Billing was by e-mail, and people were very professional and knowledgeable. Will definitely use them again.
Description of Work: Hauled my (empty) 30' sailboat cradle from Sandusky Harbor Marina, to Brands Marina, in Port Clinton, Ohio.

I was totally impressed with Dave and his wife, Maurny. At first, they turned down the business because trailers that old 19 years have many issues rust, poor breaks and tires etc. I respect someone that tells you the truth. They guided me in a fair amount of detail on what to look out for in selecting a hauler. I went to Bay City Michigan and bought the boat. When I was there I took extensive pictures of the trailer, brakes and tires.There were three spare tires. The boat/trailer spent most of it's life in a barn and was in great condition. I had the bearings repacked and brakes inspected. I came back and called Dave for a recommendation, his wife said they would look at the pictures and decide. I got another quote . which was nearly half of Dave's price. I paid Dave twice the price because he had all the credentials, insurance, experience etc. I don't think one should just take the lowest price when trailering an expensive boat. Even though most haulers are insured, damage to the boat would have cost me a sailing season.
Description of Work: Trailer a 1995 25 foot sailboat from Bay City Michigan to Cleveland.

Very professional and personable at the same time. Well run business from the scheduling to the actual work performed. Dave haul's my 99 Sea Ray 340 Sundancer from the lake to my shop for storage and the back in the spring. Excellent to deal with and very knowledge, pain free from backing it in and blocking it up to hauling it back out. Equipment is top notch, I won't use anyone else..
Description of Work: Dave picks up my boat at the marina and and hauls it 40 miles to my shop for storage, then blocks it up and sets it on stands. I don't do anything except watch in amazement as he puts it exactly where I ask him to.
