Thread: Boat Transport??

This is what I was thinking. I am surprised there is not a web page listing runs?? Maybe there is and just not finding it?

I'm expecting you'll find that most transport will be close to a dollar a mile. The brokers will take more off the top and Lord only knows who will be towing your piece. Been trucking 16years and have seen some folks pulling other folks possessions in a way that I would be upset if it were mine. I believe one of the better ones was Joule marine transport, and I probably mis spelled it. They do a lot of boats from the great lakes to salt water regularly. I personally would go with someone with references over a lower price. Good luck and let us know how it works out for you.

Mite suggest if the boat is used and not going to be put on a transporter that you have the trailer's wheel bearings inspected and repacked, lights inspected and repaired if required

Had mine shipped from factory to our house. Price was about what Skeet stated.

There is a web site for that kind of hauling, sorry, I do not know it. I am sure someone will help you.

Actually find a rv dealer close to the boat. Guys are hauling campers from northern IN every day. Then they have to drive home with nothing to haul. One of them would gladly haul it to IL to ya on thier way back to IN..

U ship gave me bids from $460.00 to $630, apparently there are a lot of haulers out there.

Thanks
