Finally something I can chime in on. I've taken my BJ8 on the Block Island
Ferry, The Put-in-Bay Ferry and the Jamestown Ferry. By far the most difficult
was the Block Island one, and THEY wanted to drive it on/off. No way, say's
I---fortunately. I had to snake it very carefully and still scraped a little.
They were VERY unhappy with me, but---that's the way it is.
I've also had my Healey shipped to Europe and back on a large car hauling ship;
driven on by them. No damage.
Size up the access ramp to the ferry and drive on accordingly.
