Shipping costs
 
With current crazy fuel costs,what are you seeing for boat transport? My regular guy always did $2 mile one way,but he said there is no profit in it now.Thoughts?

Had my 33' Sonic and trailer shipped on a flatbed from TN to Seattle WA for $3900.00 in November '09. Used Uship.com. Just be carefull, even though I said in the ad I wanted it shipped on a flatbed I had lots of cheap offers from guys with a pickup that wanted to tow it all the way. (and would kinda forget to mention that part)
As far as what it would cost now, I don't imagine it's gotten any cheaper.

Thanks,Mastercraft,knew about them and already sent the deal to them for quotes.I have used them in the past with good results but sometimes the time frame doesn't work out if I need immediate delivery.Will see what comes up.Thanks

Last October I had to pay $3 a loaded mile

pat@osp 04-21-2011 04:11 PM

I've gone up about .15 cents per loaded mile with the last $1 increase in fuel cost from $3ish up to $4ish per gallon. Diesel was in the $4.15 - $4.30 range on the last trip up 95 last week so if it keeps going up I'll probably have to go up another .5 - .10 cents per mile soon.

we are getting 3.00 per loaded mile

This is a 22'Cobalt runabout,a pickup truck is all it needs to tow.I understand $3 for a big boat,this should be cheaper.It is a 1500 mile haul one way.

Surely someone on here would haul it for less than 3/ mile. Maybe start a new thread titled differently. Like looking for a boat hauler or sumpin'

If you're looking for someone to do this send me a PM or an email. I have several back hauls that I'm looking to fill and I can give you a good rate on it if it the route and timing worked out.

Thanks, Pat
