Shipping a Boat Question.

[floatn turd]

I Googled it, but prices were $1K - 7.5K.
I can call a shipping company but, they will blow my damn phone up for 6 months if I get a quote.

So, i figured I'd ask here and see if someone may know.

Approx cost to ship:
20ft boat w/outboard, on a single axel trailer.
About 2,000 miles.
(A little boat, like a SVT or Mirage)

What do you think that might run me?

I think the going rate is $2-3 a mile for a fully insured operation.

Not sure if they would want to tow a single axle…. Company may want to load it on a car hauler etc.

I think point A and B may make a difference as well.
Moving it through CA, OR and the like may have different fuel costs than TX, OK or LA

Ya, it would have to be loaded onto something.
But
I've done research....... shipping looks like a pain in the ass.

Crap!

The last boat I sold the buyer was in Tennessee and he used USHIP to get the boat from Az to tN

Could always one way a uhaul if the deal was right.

I just got a boat shipped through USHIP about 1400 miles, it was $1700

From where to where & when? Is trailer ready to be towed?

Well, here is the shit of it.

The boat is in Canada.

So, it's a nice boat.
And I could maybe get it at a nice price.
But
I think the logistics to get it here would just be too much.

I had a 22 ft boat shipped from Houston to Temecula and it cost ne $1600. I had reached out to a couple brokers and prices were all over the place. The guy who did it was a hotshot guy and made the 1900 mile trip in 26 hrs.

There’s a guy who’s advertised for years on scream and Fly, I think his name is Frank, and he specializes in these type of boats.

I bought my last boat in Calgary. Flew up to Calgary, paid off the existing loan in US dollars, took it across the border and then had UShip take it to Havasu from there. Saved me a bunch with the strength of the dollar and no sales/transfer taxes. I think UShip was $1600.
