Thanks

Try Grayhound Bus. seperate powerhead and tower.

I don't have Greyhound close to me I'd have to drive 75 miles. UPS will bring it to your door if your under 150#. And Bill I would like to put my vote in earley, Oroville third or fourth race of the season with Copperopolis two weeks before or after. I would to come down and spend 4 to 8 weeks and race two marathons and a circle race. I bought the Hill marathon runabout that has been in your reigon for years it has had lots of drivers in it over the years. Good to hear from you see you next year, have a good winter.

Trailer Being Built

Steve,

Make sure they pack it real good so nothing gets broken or bent.

The California trip is now waiting for a new Double Stack trailer for my 45's.

Ask the guys shipping your motor to see if they can locate the Yamato box the motors are shipped in originally to Ric from the factory.

Ric has these boxes. Good Luck.

When I bought my Y102 it was from a man in florida (I live in maine) we asked for dimensions, and build the box with a few inches to spare all around, for the bottom we used 1/2-3/4 inch particle board base (the bottom were the y102 was to be strapped down) and 1.5 inch square stock to hold the sided together and 3/16 plywood the rest of the way around the box. we then screwed in pieces of metal (eye hoots to strap motor too) and sent a ratchet strap down with a few pieces of 2-3 inch hard foam insulation for under, on top lower unit, w/else for added protection, we also put a 2x6 that was the exact width of the box, so once the motor was strapped down he put the 2x6 in the transom clamps and screwed that in place from both sides. Box weighed about 40-45lbs and the yamato was about 95lbs so it worked perfect, I think it was $40 to ship the box to FL and under $110 to get it back full. As a matter of fact we just modified the box last month to ship to washington state (from maine) to have our 25xs shipped back, once again it worked great.

UPS Ground that is...

Make sure you crate it very good!!! UPS is pretty destructive!. I have used them a bunch and they can sure destroy some well built crates!

[Silas_53A]

UPS, that does mean "United Package Smashers" right?? I (maybe just luck) received both my motors unharmed from UPS with the crate as I described. The first one did have a bump on top that broke the plywood but wasn't strong enough to touch the motor inside.

Have Used Ups Before

When I asked about shipping, I forgot six or seven years ago I bought a PRO 350 complete. When UPS got here they were carring the engine(power head, tower, and gearcase) and draging the crate. They make it easy to unpack. Have a good winter. Steve 22-R QUINAULTRACING
