Or pick up the boat and trailer and put it in the water and return the trailer to the desired location. Or any sort of boat transport under 10,000 lbs. or approx 24’. I have a commercially insured truck. I carry $500,000 liability insurance and boats being transported at this time up to $100,000. Im not sure I there is a market for this service. And exactly as you say a part time retirement job before I head down to Florida. Where on this forum could I post this service? Thanks ahead of time guys!

Sounds like a useful service to me!
I see way too many people towing their boats at the beginning and end of the season with vehicles that should not be used for this purpose and they always say, "well it only once a year and I take it easy". Not a good idea when the boat is 2000 Lbs over the minivans towing limit. Of whatever you are using. Its all fine until it goes wrong.
So I can see a need for such as service.
Now selling it to people is a different story. Some will be very thankful and others will say "why should i pay someone to tow my boat once a year when Chevy Luv truck can do it as long as I dont go over 40 on the highway or have to stop in less than a 1000 feet,,,"
Best of luck, I will be happy to suggest to people without the right tow vehicle that they consider using a service like you are proposing!
