The guy that runs Mt Pleasant Canoe & Kayak in Maine http://www.mtpleasantcanoe.com/ dpeckham_at_acadia.net hauls boats all over the country. When I bought my Seward Quest from him he picked it up in BC & delivered to me in Mass. He was hauling a load of Sedas to deliver to a local dealer. A few weeks ago I stopped at a kayak shop on the on the SF penninsula & the proprietor was having a demo day the next day & he was antzy that the delivery he was expecting would be delivered early enough to make his commitments. The deliverer was Don Peckham of Mt Pleasant Canoe & Kayak. If your package pickup & drop off is anything close to on his route I bet he would carry it for a nominal fee. rb Walt Chudleigh wrote: > Kevin Maude (sessio.com) wrote: > > > > I am needing to ship a kayak from the midwest to the west coast.
