They managed to rip a front cross member of the trailer but no real damage the boat moved a bit on the trailer, no scratchs or ofther damage, price qouted from Peters and May (Uk shipping agent) fro Jacksonville to Southampton $7,500 ended up at $10,500 due to lenght of trailer, most expansive was UK to Portugal about $7,000.This was with me acting as convoy car as it was ovrsize.
Anyway i'll take a couple of pics in th marina in Portugal.
I would say that i did not intend bringing her back just use her for two years in the US and sell, i kept her mainly due to her fantastic sea keeping, we got stuck in the Bahamas with big sea's (15 ft swells of freeport)and she was fantastic as well as the swells on the east coat of florida, i am very used to boats 25yrs plus i have another boat in UK 37Ft semi Displacement good sea boat been in very bad sea s x 400 hp cummins shafts. i also have delivered RIBS big one 30 to 40 ft 2 x 300 p outboards in horrible UK channels seas and i felt that the 358 handled as well if not better, i owned a Proline 32 Sportfisher(again out of Stuart Fl) before her with 2 x 250 outboards and i can say hand on heart the four winns is miles above as a note we lifted the boat and trailer complete from the truck and the weight was 11.5T with no water and half tanks, take off 2.5 t for the trailer thats 9T. My conclusion Four Winns builds good strong boats, I wish at times she was not so good then i would now have two boats, i guess thats the best testimate i can give.
Cheers all
