JawsOrca Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Does anyone know? Can suggest a local Hiab company working around the broads? It needs to be a Hiab as there is no crane available. (I've got GMR Online that's all). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisB Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I do know that Jones Boatyard at St Ives and Viking Seamaster use HIABs for deliveries. You could give them a ring and see if you can get a number. You do need an experience operator for lifting boats because without a frame the two strops coming in to a single hook cause constriction. This is fine at the bow end but not desirable if pulling in on a canopy or wheel house towards the stern. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JawsOrca Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 Iain. I guess the more local the cheaper they will be. (I'll call these). Chris, I think GMR Online (who I've already spoken to) is the one Jones use. Just getting a quote but it would be good to get more than one quote to know if it's expensive. You certainly have a point on the experiance. We have used two (from down here) before and experience certainly shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JawsOrca Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 Don't worry Doug.. I've been vague.. She received damage (several months back now) and for legal reasons I've not gone into too much detail online. But the lights at the end of the tunnel.. and we need to get a hiab transporter to move her from the hardstanding up to her new home 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure but I think the trailer is designed to load without lifting, could always launch from the trailer at Wayford. Doug. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbx5 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Hi Alan we used GMR on to move our last boat from the Thames 27ft Capriole. I can definitely recommend them, Chris is a very nice guy and well priced. regards John 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They bought that boat from scarbourgh for me and then to the broads, and have launched one for me from the quay at Wells harbour, it was a while ago but i think by milage it was about 340 for 100 miles, but don t quote me on it! service second to none, can,t fault them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanetAnne Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I recognise that Lorry.... It was still Fred and Peggy back then and I was one of the last jobs before they sold the business to Chris. Chris's first job for us was £100 cheaper than Fred wanted three months earlier!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springsong Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Chris at GMR is really very good at his job, very spatially aware and has eyes in the back of his head. He moved SP for us from Martham to Stalham, we couldn't get through Potter, he was I thought quite reasonable . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
