Boat transport

[Boaterdan278michigan]

I may need to hire a professional boat transportation company to haul a boat from Pennsylvania to Michigan. Has anyone used a company they would recognize? The boat is 36' long, 11.5' wide and weighs 13,500 pounds. I'm still negotiating price and I need to factor transportation in.

talk to the broker you are using. they will have recommendations. Make sure they are licensed and bonded. that way if things go awry, its covered.

And verify license and bonding. Get the papers, physically, then make calls to ensure current.

Total distance involved?----Moving it from where to where?

If the boat is sitting at a marina the people there will have trusted contacts, but still trust and verify.

It is also a fun adventure to go by water, you need experience to do that though. I have gone from Pickwick TN to Florida and back a dozen times, it is not like recreation boating though you have to have a plan.
