Looking to get a boat pulled from Florida to Michigan or somewhere close
 

I have a friend needs a boat pulled from nationals yard in florida to michigan or somewhere close, could meet in ohio. boat is on a trailer, weight 11k. anyone interested pm me with price or info.

Just a recommendation, but you're probably better off paying someone that actually does this for a living and has liability insurance. It's nice to save a couple of hundred dollars here and there, but if the boat weighs 11k pounds it probably wasn't cheap. I'd make sure the guy doing the pulling had insurance to cover anything that happened in transit.

Call Big AL's Towing...He's goes nationwide..

I agree, many boats heading south for winter, may be able to catch a return trip and sve money. If it was 5000lbs I could help, but to pull 11,000lbs better get a dually.

I agree it should be only be pulled by a professional. I would not trust an expensive boat to a stranger or friend of a friend trying to a get a cheap rate. Insurance and liability are a couple of minor issues....

Uship.com most shippers have insurance and the rates are competitive

Fully Licensed and Insured..

it is a 28' searay sundancer cruiser on a triaxle trailer, i might be a little high on the weight, prob around 10k max, i will pass along those contacts, he got a quote from someone but i thought it was awfully high, high enough that if he wasnt a friend i would have gone and gotten it for the $

If you want a comparison, my Step dad had a 42' Eagle hauled from FL to MI and it cost him around $1,100. He did not have a trailer and they used a hydrolic trailer to haul it, but I'm not sure how much difference that makes.

seems reasonable, he said cheapest quote was over 2k

Most of them charge..

$1.50- $1.75 a mile...do the math...

Be careful getting just any service. Make sure they have "enough" cargo coverage..... Many haulers out there have the cargo coverage but it is not adequate. If the rig is worth more than what the hauler carries....you're leaving yourself personally exposed.

Also - remember the majority of all boat insurance policies (not talking about cargo coverage from the transporter) has a clause in their policy. If the boat is being transported "for hire" then the responsability is transferred to the transport company. Meaning.... you hire someone to haul your boat and it disappears or is damaged in a accident...your personal policy won't cover a thing. Hence the need to make sure the transport company has adequate insurance.

Get a certificate of insurance issued in your name. You will see all the coverages and dates of coverage. Anyone who can't provide this.... I would be worried.

Guys charging a $1.00 a mile or less....most likely don't have the correct coverage.... or they are bare bones....not making a penny of profit.

call tommy he goes up that way all time.he's in the transport biz.954-394-0252 tommy
