Ever give any thought to loading your boat on to a barge? These companies seem to believe they can load just about anything.

Hey Capt......Wouldn't one of the outfits near Lake Cumberland, that haul the big houseboats out, be able to handle the job?? I could dig up some names for ya.......I've seen them pull some 110' out.
Just curious, have you given any thought to a float-on/float-off barge? The Cumberland should have some deep spots to sink a barge, float on your boat, have some divers place supports, and refloat the barge to transport it to your dock. That would save the cost of a large crane and be easier on the boat's hull. The below company has a Nashville office and an 800 number. Perhaps a good starting point to ask them some questions and maybe receive a good answer or two. Ingram Marine Group
