transport large boat
 

I consider to buy a boat 42 FT on trailer. Location is Minnesota St paul.

When I buy this boat I transport it to Baltimore for the shipment.

Any suggestions

Can I rent a pick up truck with a hitch ????

Enterprise rent a truck....they have f-250's with reciever hitches.

Thanks westcoast for the quick replay.

enterprise don't let tow with there vehicles, your best bet is rent atruck in u-hull

42ft is a big boat for a 250. I would want atleast a dually. What kind of boat?

I have calling Enterprise , no pickup truck with hitches.

1-888-736-8287 RENT A TRUCK ...just checked there website. Trucks with hitches available.

By the way...don't tell them what you plan to tow:hitfan:

Westcoast,

please Have you a link for me.

Pay someone to haul it. that way it is insured!

When I was buying my boat I schemed all sorts of ways to tow it - uhaul, rent-a-truck, enterprise, etc.... I realized in the end that ALL were BAD BAD BAD ideas from a stability and liability standpoint - and I was only hauling a 35.

I was able to find a place that rented dually's for the purpose of towing. The price was affordable - only reason I didn't do it was because I realized that I needed a truck afterwards anyways.

In summary - either pay someone to move it, or get the right equipment.

problem.

There is no Truck rent location in Minnesota.
