Hello, after 10 great years of ownership, I am in the process of selling my 1999 Marlin 300 and purchasing a 360 Express; both are expected to close within the next 7-10 days. I still love the Marlin, maybe the most versatile boat going. I've read many of the threads on this forum about the 360 (and 300 for that matter) and all the info that has been shared over the years is highly appreciated.
The 360 I'm purchasing is in in the pan handle of Florida. I need to get it to New Hampshire. I've evaluated many options and have dialed into having her shipped by trailer to Jacksonville FL and running her up the coast to NH. I have a quote (not contracted yet though) for the haul which includes wet haul and wet launch. I have a ramp for loading identified, but I could use some help identifying a ramp for the wet launch from anyone familiar with Jacksonville and launching a boat of the size of a 360.
From online research, the Lions Club Boat Ramp in Jacksonville seems to have the deep water required at any tide, but I'd highly appreciate local verification or recommendation of another ramp.
I will also need to tie up for a day or two to provision and to make preparations to get underway. So, if there are recommendations for a local marina that has nearby facilities to provision a boat for this trip (food and safety gear) that is appreciated as well.
Thank you in advance.
