I use Demond at Freight Quote, 816-949-6147. I always had good pricing and good service.

Pallet, Blanket or cardboard, 2 ratchet straps, wrap with shrink from U-Haul. Don't forget to put BOL inside the wrap. Good luck

Yep, when on the pallet use Styrofoam or a towel to place under skeg. Lay a few old towels over drive and shrink wrap.

This is what I did. Fully enclosed and shrink wrapped. Now I can use it to store, ship, paint etc.
