Default Boat Transportation Question

Thanks for your time. Would any know a ballpark figure to truck a 45 foot
Ketch from Florida to California (Bay Area) ?? Are they getting a certain
amount
per foot? I could sail it to Corpus Christi Texas to keep costs down if
they are
totally outrageous. Has anyone done a Panama Canal passage lately? What are
they charging for that now a days? I could just imagine. Thanks again, I
appreciate
any input.

I was quoted $6,000 to truck a 41 footer from St Petersburg, Florida to
Tacoma, in Washington State, last year. Corpus Christi wasn't a great deal
cheaper.

Thanks Danny, do you remember what company that was? I haven't
called anyone yet as we are toying around with so many ideas about
getting the boat here. Looks like trucking it is going to be the way.
Thanks again !!

Default Boat Transportation Question

I recently looked into transporting a 27' boat from Maryland to Connecticut
& got a wide range of prices. The high was $1833. A broker for a group of
transporters gave me a price of $1100. A company out of the yellow pages
gave me the low $695 & negotiable. I was suspicious of the $695 price and
asked the transporter to have his insurance company fax me a certificate of
insurance. He said no problem but I never received it. My suggestion is to
shop around & ask for their insuarance certificate.
