Here's an interesting challenge posted on TrawlerCrawler.net: We are in search of our loop boat so that we may share in the adventure. Have located an interesting candidate located in Seattle. Problem is, I am in Kentucky. I do not have the time or expertise to bring this boat through the Panama Canal or over the Northwest Passage so here are my questions: How far east can I bring a boat with a 4' draft on the Columbia River? Is it feasible/possible to truck a 44' with a 14' beam from that point on the Columbia to a point on the Missouri River? I suspect the Rockies might be a bit of a nuisance. Is there a Marina that has the capability to pull this boat from the water at that point on the Columbia? Can I get it back in the water on the Missouri? It appears to be a beautiful boat (Stella Maris on Yachtworld) and it is certainly priced right if in good shape hence the post. I have no idea how realistic this might be so please, be gentle in your response.
