Roger;
We went through same situation 1 1/2 yrs ago looking for an E34. Found 1 for sale in Great Lakes and after we made an offer, it was removed from market. Ended up buying a boat outside Atlanta, Ga. and had it trucked to Michigan. Otherwise we'd still be looking. I haven't checked out the brokers lately, but I wouldn't rule out the trucking option too quickly, especially if you are interested in this particular boat as we were. Ericson's aren't real common in the Great Lakes area. We had found several boats on the coasts (east & west) but not in the Lakes. The 38-200 is an excellent boat and I can understand why you want one. As I recall, it was about $2.50 per mile for the marine hauler, which included all load permits, etc. Good luck in your search and keep us posted on your progress.
Good luck & sail fast
