Boat shipping across country

[BigQ]

25 foot boat transfer from NJ to Ca, has anyone done this far. Uship is quoting 3.5k. Anythoughts?

I know it is different, but we just sold a boat to a guy in Hawaii and it cost about 6grand to ship from San Diego to Hw

Is it on a trailer? Find someone making the drive and pay for their gas.

Up to 28' everyone on S&F uses Frank Mole Transport 516-799-0623. I have heard nothing but great comments.

I have used Frank and it was painless. I have also had a boat pulled cross country from LA and one from Havasu and $3500 is more then you need to pay if you are not in a rush and can find an open return slot. Just as a data point I had a car shipped from Portland to NYC last week and it was $850.

Try Dougiebear here on the boards he seems to be making that trip pretty frequently

Uship is never that high just set a price and you will get it done for that shipped from Florida to Texas $350 and from Oregon to Texas $450 and that was a 20 foot Sleekcraft. I have never paid more than $575 for Uship in the continental US.

I just sent a message to a buddy that has a possible haul from LHC to GA. Might save him from dead-heading, and save you both a couple bucks.
I did a deal about 2 yrs ago getting a trailer from Miami to Vegas, and a boat from HB to Tucson and doing the swap to complete the transit.
Worked out well for all involved.

FYI, I'll be driving to Florida in June. So if you guys need anything hauled, you can pay for my gas.
