Yea , some of the guy's flying experemental stuff I've read of crossing "Big Water" real'em in and out .
...........I.M.H.O............................
Jennefer , If all I's wanting to do was get the plane to me , as cheap as I could(considering possible damage)I would find me some one experenced in this sorta thing and have it shipped !
NOW........If I's looking for the adventure , I would contract me a willing victim (experenced water cross'r that I trust)Inflict myself on that person for the time it took
US to fly the bird home !!

You'd get alot of time to log , an experence to write about , as well as to LEARN from and apply to your future flying .

Seems to me that it would'nt or should'nt add that much to the costs of having it ferry'ed , If thats the way you chose to go !
You would'nt have to wait until you had the expertise(time) to do it yourself , Then all you'd have to decide , is whats your best option on all the other questions you've got to answer .

But , you'd have the main component (the plane) in your hands .
