I'm doing winter storage this year in Westville NJ, which is pretty much right under the Walt Whitman Bridge. Next summer is going to be Jersey shore - while the boat did fine on the way up from Sassafras river, I'm not thrilled about taking a boat of this vintage (1972) down the DE bay, and up the Jersey Coast.
With the fly-bridge, the boat sitting on a trailer is dangerously close to too tall. I have a hauler, if I can tell him where I'm going, if he can find a safe route, I'm optimistic that if I remove the windshield, and the seat back - he'll be willing to haul me even if I'm an inch or two over - but obviously we would need a route with no 13'6" bridges, toll booths, etc.
My questions is where to have him take me - looking at Active Captain, I see some marinas on the Mullica, Great Egg, and Tuckahoe rivers - all within 45 miles by road of Westville; but not many details as far as which ones have haul/launch capabilities. Anyone familiar with the marina's in these parts, and the roads leading to them?
