Default Hmmm. transportation needed

OK, here's the deal. I'm considering a purchase of a new boat that is located in Fort Lauderdale area. The boat and trailer plus gear is estimated right around 14000# +/-. I need to get the boat brought up to Greensboro NC. (about 725 miles one way) While my plans are to purchase a new tow vehical to handel this package, I hate to rush out and buy one now on short notice. Has anyone used a transportation company? Who? Good idea? Bad idea? How about any brothers coming this way? I'm looking to do this quick. Like this week or next?

Any help would be great!

I assume I know the answer to this, but is there anyplace where I can rent &/or borrow a vehical to tow with?

These guys are out of Lake Norman http://www.horsepower-unlimited.com/ Last year when I talked to them they were 2$ a mile one way. I might tow it at that price myself.
They have some pretty nice mullets running around too!

Let me know a timeframe. Maybe we can roadtrip down and get it. We can take my dually.

I go to visit family in Greensboro/Gibsonville quite often. If you can get it reasonably close to Atlanta, I can help.
