Puuleease don't talk like that. Seattle to Houston is 2500 miles, so no,
$10,700 doesn't sound too out of line. Does that include loading/unloading?
You should be able to find cheaper. Call all the boat haulers, and get
quotes. Every state has it's own rules, but generally, over 13'6'' wide
needs one escort, and maybe 14'5'' requires two. I'm not familiar with west
of the Miss. Couldn't you load that on a regular flat bed? If so, the rate
would drop in half.

Hey Scotty someone gave me a quote to truck this boat from Seattle to
Hoston of 10,700. He said because of the beam of 14.5 inches he would
need a escort car.

I thinks he might be full of crap, a buddy here in the marina had one
just like it shipped here from VA. last month for only 5,000 and fuel
prices havent risen that fast.

Your a trucker right? Is is nuts or what?

Who should I call for a fair deal?

Thanks,

Joe
