What type of info? Price? Who can do it? When they can do it? As for price, don't hold me to it, but I believe the going rate is around $2.50-$2.75/mile.


I use Jason Farris at Full Throttle Transport. Great guy that will take care of your equipment. His # is 678-378-6988. Give him a call and he can fill you in on the particulars.

I had to move my 353 FasTech from Las Vegas to Buffalo, NY (2300 miles) in 2009 and had great luck using uship.com With uship, you don't necesarily want to choose the lowest bid on your transport, you want to go with the best rated company that also offers you a fair price. Take the time to read the feedback that other customers have left for the transporters that have bid on your shipment.

The guy I ended up hiring thru USHIP (craneman4) works alone with his 3/4 ton pick-up truck and has his DOT#'s and is insured. He is not a broker, he is the one who picks up, hauls and delivers your shipment. It does not sit in a yard somewhere waiting while someone tries to find someone else to haul it. THAT'S what I was looking for, someone who would be responsible for the transportation of my new boat from start to finish.

I ended up paying $2,240.00 (aprox. $1.00 per mile) which I thought was a very fair price... Other bids came in a few hundred cheaper, but I went with craneman4 for the reasons stated.

For my own peace of mind, I also had my insurance agent bind my own coverage on the boat in case anything went wrong on the way here... That way, I felt like I had double protection for the long journey home.

Good luck with your shipment!

Dave

www.greatlakesboathaulers.com towed my boat from Michigan to Maryland. We were very pleased with their work. They kept in contact with us through out the entire process. They pulled all the wide load permits (beam of my boat is 9'2" so permits were required) and they are licensed and insured. They even showed up about a half day earlier then originally planned.

Good luck on your transport and congrats on the new boat!
