Anyone ever ship a boat?

Anyone?

Trying to figure some costs into a budget and right now all these places are closed so I figured I would ping the peanut gallery to see if anyone has any experience doing this sort of thing.

Thanks!
 
I think you have to know more about the size (length width weight) to get a better answer.

Distance can also help I think
 
Definitely not gonna be cheap. Depending on the size of the boat, the truck may be only able to haul one boat at a time...
Every transport company will have it's own rates, so even knowing the size of the boat, (length and beam) as well as origin & destination, it's not likely we'll be able to really give you any intelligent answer...
I unloaded quite a few boats off of Dudley trucks over the years. They seemed to do a good job with their hauling. I drove truck for Fiberform Boats back in the late 70's, and have a pretty good idea what's involved with hauling boats. If I had to pick a hauler, I'd choose Dudley, at least out west...

Never dealt with truck-shipping boats, but I have had a lot of experience with trucking companies (driving & dispatching) & you want to go with somone who specializes in this sort of thing for sure .. the above looks like a good suggestion.

If it can be trailered, we pay about $1/mile to do cars so I'd imagine something similar.
