Check with Eliminator. I shipped a 19' Daytona to the east coast on their truck. They shrinked wrapped it and loaded and unloaded it. It just needs to be offloaded at one of their dealers that is getting a delivery. Didn't cost all that much as I recall. Good luck.

Call Jeff Murray 909-816-1101. Just tell him you got the name here from Andy. He has three drivers and fully insured.

If you're looking to save a buck, call Don Miles at 512-917-2288. He's about
60 years old and he hauls alot of Robbie Gordon's toys all over the country for
him, has hauled several boats for me and my customers and has always done
a great job for us. Nice old guy and a little trivia........ when he was a young kid, he played for the Los Angeles Dodgers! I have one of his playing cards!

Maybe John from Ultra could chime in on this one. I think he has a connection

Eliminator arranged to have my boat shipped and the cost was around $1500..

How do transport companies charge? by the mile or by trip? I need someone to ship my boat over to Illinois next year. thanks

I think about $1.50 a mile

I talked to Jeff Murray on the phone today. His rate is 2.25 mile. Mileage starts at point of pick up to when the boat is dropped off. He is fully insured and tows the boat. It is not put ON a trailer. He has a lot of references. Sounds like he is pretty busy. FYI

Shipping a boat back east goes a little something like this.

On something like that, they should give you a backhaul rate which should be approximately half. That's how it works with big rigs and equipment.

I am looking to ship as well?
Maybe we could split something?
Just a thought...
I am heading out in a week or so ..... if I dont come up with another way.
good luck.. either way....MP

That's an excellent rate. Single boats are about $3 a mile now... :rolleyes: Not sure what the flat-bed rates are, but we (Eliminator) use them alot. Call Stephanie if you want some carrier ideas. (951) 681-1222

$2/mile for a fully insured licensed company. The private and fly by night guys are $1.25-$1.50/mile. You get what yo upay for...
