Thread: Has anyone had a boat shipped X-country

    We are close to completion of our boat.
    One problem remains, we live in Tennessee and the boat is in California.
    Can anyone reccomend a shipping company.
    The one and only quote I have recieved was 4500.oo .
    That seems about double what I thought reasonable.
    Any and all help is greatly apreciated.
    i have spent to much on the boat, cant afford to get her home.
    thanks in advance .................MP

    2k miles from Liberty, TN to Valencia, CA. At 12 MPG and $2.70 for unleaded that's $450. Shouldn't take much more than 2 days.

    I have an 03 dually and that is an option but 5k on the dually and 2k+ on the new trailer didnt sound appealing.
    Plus taking a week off and driving like a mad man.
    THere has to be a better way than tearing up my truck and brand new trailer.

    Hey brad,
    The hull is finished, and we are in the home stretch with TPI.
    I estimate 6 weeks before it is ready to ship.
    Dyno, testing etc will take some time, but I have some other issues that nesisitate that I make a decision about transport.
    Most of these issues cannot be discussed publicly, but I need to have an idea realativley soon.
    Thanks guys

    Pulled mine across country when I moved here and it wasn't to bad. Which ever way you go I would strongly recommend having the boat and trailer shrink wrapped for protection.

    Gene says he is unable to shrinkwrap the trailer.
    How do you go about wrapping the trailer?
    If I tow I would like as much protection as possible.
    Do you think that NB Jones Trucking would do it for 1500.oo?

    Too bad it won't be ready for my x-country trip starting November 1st. Leaving Cali for Texas with the 2300 HD/Duramax only, stopping off in Texas to pick up a 48' gooseneck flat bed trailer with a 9,000 pound winch up front then back to Nashville to try to buy some real estate while enroute to New Jersey to pick up a couple of Vettes I bought. Would have worked well for both of us! I could have used the fuel money boost!

    Need a real estate agent? I'd be happy to help :wink:

    Not sure where to get the trailer wrapped, but I do see them in shrink wrap when they are being delivered. How about you, Jones and me just take turns driving out to get it. If he is busy he could just send this guy, I think it's his personal assistant.
