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 !!

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.
