Couple guys around here do nothing but move heavy equipment and ag equipment. $125/hr you can buy a decent truck and trailer for $60-$60k. CDL’s though. If I were living in your AO, I’d seriously consider a boat moving/delivery business.
Thanks.
Friend of mine, now deceased, owned a seatow franchise in South Florida. Made a pile of money towing boats in and even more running dope in the early 90’s. Depends on the amount of risk your willing to expose yourself too I guess. YMMV....
He was one hell of a fisherman. Built a sailboat and sailed to Europe when he was 30. Loved listening to his stories, and fishing the 80’s Mako 21 he refurbished/repowered. Still have a couple top water plugs he made for stripers on the Chesapeake.
