Just Launch at Chch and turn left.  Turn left at the top of the Coromadel and you'll find Auckland.   Wink

Had a real good deal from Jeffs with the transport of my Surtees, Tauraunga to Picton. Was a cheaper way than doing it myself. All done for you and not a mark on the boat.

Does anyone have any suggestions for getting a trailer from Auckland to Surtees in Whakatane?
Small trailer for a 4.7M boat, warranted and WOF.
Anyone going that way, and interested in getting some $$ for fuel etc?

Thanks Studio1.
 
I have managed to secure a deal with a small transport company, at a very reasonable price. The larger car  / boat transporter companies either were not interested, or wanted to charge $1000 to move the trailer a very short distance.
