Well, I've got the boat in my driveway.... final cost to bring it here myself was ..... One day rental from Enterprise: F-250 diesel Super Duty with all insurance coverages, $20 towing surcharge and unlimited miles: $115. Diesel fuel for 486 miles @$3.15 gallon: $105. Tolls: NJ Turnpike, Garden State Parkway and Tappan Zee Bridge: $29.25. Total cost to bring the boat up to RI from NJ: $249.50. Sweet.. By the way, the F-250 was so smooth at 65 MPH with the 7,500 lb. boat back there, I didn't even feel it. What a nice truck... Gotta get me one.. Here's a picture of my new boat on the trailer behind the F-250. We stopped in the last rest area on the Garden State Parkway to check the tires, hubs and lights on the trailer before crossing the new Tappan Zee Bridge and heading up 95 for home.
