In Response To: Strip: Transporting a strip hull (Jim Michlewski)

: Purchased a partially completed Redfish King stripper that is attached to a
: strongback. No epoxy/fiberglass yet. Any suggestions as to how to move it
: to my home?

Treat it like a piece of long skinny furniture. Rent a long open trailer from U-Haul. Run light weight ratchet straps around the strips to secure it to the strongback, padding where necessary. Rent the U-Haul furniture blankets and wrap the boat up in them, then gently tie the boat down in the trailer. Usually the trailers are pretty inexpensive if you can return it to the same location within 24 hours. If you're not set up with a hitch, perhaps you have a friend that is.
