help transporting tower from Indiana to Wisconsin

Hmm, I'm going to Decatur IN in a few weeks from SE Wisconsin.

Hollywood. If you think you may be able to pickup and transport a broken down (taken apart) tower for me, let me know and I can figure this whole thing out.

Not sure if that would work. as the tower is about an hour south of Indianapolis

well, I don't know exact piece measurements..but I know it's an "air boom" tower. and There are 2 lower legs, 2 upper legs, then the top cross member. Total weight is probably 100lbs.

that's what I know. You can see the tower here, in this thread:

it is the boat that C-Bass owns.

Well that's good news. I was really hoping the entire top wasn't a solid hoop like a FCT2. Being a "universal" tower I figured it wasn't but needed to ask before showing up!

I've never purchased a bimini but several here have, from GMI in Canada. I cannot imagine they shipped it fully assembled....

Seems like this will all fit in a normal vehicle.

Craig, any chance you can get the stuff to Zach on the east side of Indy?

Bimini should hook itself right in even if complete, like a couch through a doorway.

I really appreciate you all helping a guy out! I'll talk to C-Bass and see just when we can make this all happen.

Thanks again guys. :)

LOL.....Colorado beers?? Are those suppose to be better than Wisconsin beers? LOL

I mean Goose Island and New Belgium are ok, as long as we are talking about Hamm's or Coors Light! :)

That wouldn't be a problem. It would take me at least until the 22nd of this month to get the bimini though. Don't know when you're planning on being down in Indiana.

Guys, the end of the month would work perfect for me too.   :)

I am headed to Dubuque this weekend. Could make another trip later this month or early Sept. If I do, might save you a trip to this side of the state. Let's see when HW gets back. BTW, kev you can "test fit" it on any of a number of hulls in your backyard!!!

Well I was getting together all the pieces of the tower and discovered that one of the aluminum brackets that connects the lower/upper pieces is missing. I hauled this thing home from the lake on the trailer last year and I'm hoping it didn't rattle loose and fall on the road (it would've been loosened when I took down the tower). I'll continue looking for it, but I doubt Dan wants a tower with a missing bracket. I could have a machine shop make a new one easy enough, but that will take more time.

C-Bass......do you think the bracket is available from the company??

HW--Yeah I know what you mean transporting an FCT2 main hoop. I'm glad you brought mine from Indiana to northern Illinois. It was a big piece to take to and from the powder coater and that's only 15 miles from my house. I'm glad it's on the boat. Still very thankful fo that gesture.

Dan,

I've yet to get any response out of Air-Boom on the aluminum bracket and if I call a machine shop they certainly won't be able to get it to me that quick. At this point I don't think it's feasible to get this thing moved next week. Unless you have any suggestions I would say we call off the relay team to get this thing up to you and if you still want it, try at a later date.

Still out there C-Bass ???
