T&T: Boat Move By Rail

[John Blackburn]

I looked into moving a boat by rail, a 44 DeFever.  The limit was beam, 
the defever has a 15' beam.  Bridges over rivers, gullys, etc. are built 
with something like 12 to 13 feet clearence between the structures.

>Boat moves often come up on this list and I have never seen a mention of move it by rail. I know the beam and height issues would go away for most boats so it must be something else. Cost? Possible rougher ride? Nobody set up to do it? Has anybody ever looked at this method for moving their boat.
