I agree.... More importantly, what is the beam of this 30' boat?
I just pulled a boat down with an 8'6" beam and had several close calls with some of the oncoming trucks. I can't imagine pulling anything down that
road wider than 8'6"!

The jury is out on whether it will happen, but it can be done....years ago we hired a transporter to bring our Grady White Marlin to La Paz. It was
pretty beamy. Because of that, he drove to Los Mochis on the mainland and brought it over on the ferry. No problem.

That's a great idea going down the mainland and then crossing!

All this talk about tin boat negatives :-(
There were several guys .....many......many ......years ago that spent months in their little ol' tin boat. Fished and fished up and down both sides
of the Cortez. Say......didn't they write a book about their adventure?
The Baja Catch by Neil Kelly and Gene Kira
Now...... I duplicated their boat (several posts here in the archives) and have been using it for years. Great shape.

Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

Yes, that book is what got me to stay with my "tin boat" in Baja, Fez------never regretted it, and loved every min....for many years (30 + yrs). The
only difference is that I carried my boat on top of my truck, to avoid the pounding of the washboard and rocky roads to the best remote beaches.
