Default Boat transport

Any transport company is going to charge $2000 or there about for the haul.
I would recommend you just tow it yourself. Spend the money on a good
moving company instead to move all your furniture.

I have hauled boats long distance before w/ no problem. Here is my process:

1. Tear down all bearings and repack and install new seals.
2. Take a grease gun w/ you to top off each night.
3. Make sure your tires are in good condition and air pressure is topped
off and check each night.
4. Make sure you have a spare tire (or two) that will fit the trailer. Car
spare will work as long as it is the right size.
5. Check all your lights and make sure they work right on the tow vehicle
you will be using.

Other than that, hook up and go.

Has anyone commercially transported a boat recently? Any gouge would be
appreciated, I have a Four Winns Horizon 200 in California and am
transfering to the Annapolis area. I requested a quote from one of the
online companies but I know it will be expensive, Is it worth transporting
the boat or do I try a sell here and buy there move? I don't want to

think
about a cross country tow but...
