The buyer's plans three counties out do not change just because the seller has nothing rated to make the tow. In West Des Moines, a fishing boat sale closes over the phone and the new owner expects delivery, not a week of waiting on borrowed equipment. Down the street, a sailboat owner is doing the same math in reverse, needing the hull moved into storage before the yard raises its rates for winter.
My crew runs the haul with our own truck and trailer rated for the hull, door to door between the two driveways. Ankeny and Clive sit on the same route out of Polk County. A boat bought without its paperwork sorted can still be moved, details on the Iowa boat transport page.
