Thanks

What you needing hauled first of all. Does it have a trailer?
Use uship.com

220s on a decent trailer... will put on Uship, for sure, but didn't know if there were any local recommendations.

Thanks

Na most have used uship. I've used them Prob 5 times. Prob $1200 maybe $1.20/mile?

[IntrepidBoater]

would love if it was that reasonable... was hearing $2-3 per mile from others, hoping you are right and they are wrong.

The guy who is buying my old boat in Los Angeles got quoted $2k to bring it to Seattle. Little more than 1100 miles

24' boat

good info, thanks!

Did you buy it already? When are you looking to get it towed?

Hey IB. Welcome to the Cobaltchat forum. So glad you found us!

I used Uship for a 26’ footer towed from Vegas to Pittsburgh on an almost new trailer. It's much cheaper shipping from west to north-east for a number of reasons. (or as Liquid states....that’s because it’s not shipping from South to North which is uphill. )

I paid .77 per mile out the door thru u-ship (pre Rona)

Looking forward to your pics down the road.

Again welcome aboard mate!

2 years ago I spoke to a transport company at the minneapolis boat show. They want $3800 to put my Boat and trailer on a flatbed to Charlotte. Everyone has their own ideas of good pricing. Crazy

I've just heard Uship can be hit or miss sometimes... you have to do some vetting of carriers insurance/license/ etc... I always try and get a recommendation if at all possible!

Where did you purchase it?

[IntrepidBoater]

not purchased yet, trying to figure out if cost to trailer is worth it vs trying to find something closer.

I see your dilemma. I was in a similar position last year. With the way boats are selling I would be leery of any boat in that price range that is for sale long enough for you to line up a surveyor(up here anyway). I just saw a nice 246 sell in day just last week.
