Default Looking for a boat shipper

Hey guys,

We are looking for a reputable shipper to tow a Nor Tech 36 Supercat from Portland, ME to Lake Havasu City, AZ. I've been looking via U-Ship, but haven't found anyone yet and figured I'd reach out to OSO members to see if you all have any leads for me?

Thanks in advance

We might be able to help depending on what your schedule is. We are based out of Rhode Island so we are close to the pick up location............actually picking a boat up in Kennebunk ME tomorrow morning. I assume it's on its own trailer and it gets flat towed, not a tilt trailer? Do you have specific dates or is the timing flexible? Let me know on those things and I can get you a quote. We carry $250K cargo coverage with additional coverage available if needed, CDL A driver, DOT and MC numbers, etc. Let me know if we can help. On the road today and tomorrow so email is better for me.
Thanks, Pat

I have used Pat in the past for moves from Florida to New England and was very pleased with the entire operation from pickup to delivery. A real professional, you will not be disappointed.

Pat brought my Formula from Florida to upstate NY. Called me several times with progress reports. Very professional.

Give Chris a call at Ocean Performance in CT. He has done a ton of hauling and knows how to take care of your boat...pretty risky on U-Ship if you don't know who the guy is pulling your boat. He pulled my Top-Gun from the East Coast to upper Michigan...never a worry and knew my "baby" was in good hands...best advice, don't go "cheap" on a hauler.

I called Pat at OSP and the timing did not line up for me BUT he told me to call SeaWise who also has been mentioned in this thread BOTH are GREAT people to deal with and Ed was able to haul my boat out for me VERY happy with them.
