Need help transporting boat!
 
Anyone know of a boat transporter that could move a boat from Arizona to Mi? The kicker is that the boat sits on a goose neck trailer with a ball coupler. The boat is 45' I wish I had the time, I would pick it up myself but that can't happen.
Thanks

If BigChubby or IDRPSTF can't help you, you may want to look into an RV mover/company.

I have ordered a truck with a gooseneck ball and fifth wheel, but will not have it for two months, thanks for calling and good luck.

I am going to do a 330 peterbuilt with a crew cab body and a hauler back end with air brakes. My ford hauls everything but I want the extra peice of mind with the bigger truck. also my ford is a year and half old and has 200,000 miles and it is liable to drop dead on the highway. the pete has a 3126 cat 3330hp.

Gary Lorenson may be able to help you out. He hauls for Captains Choice (sunsations and baja's) and just delivered another boat for us (FL to NY). I have used him for about 3 yrs and he has never let me down.
I believe Gary has one from OH to CA.... may work out on a back haul for you.

Tom here you go from the same company if you have a bigger checkbook. the white 379 runs about $225,000 depending on the options. :evilb:
