Boat move

[kawaton]

Can anyone reccommend a HIAB Haulage company who can move a 30ft boat? (South Mids area)

I know this is not answering the question you've asked, but you do know that temperatures will rise over the next few days and all that ice is likely to melt, so maybe you could move the boat yourself by water? At only 30 feet long and in that area I'm guessing it probably isn't a widebeam?

What weight is it? I doubt a hiab could lift a 30ft NB.

maybe it could lift a fiberglass boat, or an aluminium narrowboat, like a Sea Otter

Specialist firms have some very big Hiabs.

ps Just checked the Hiab site (which is horrible and clunky).  The largest they make starts at 90t capacity.

The one 50 yards in front of my boat - I did mention that she is my 'better-half' didn't I.
