Anyone have any experience with transporting boat cross country? 2002 SN with folding Flight Tower, White Lake Marina, NC to Bullhead City, AZ. Prices seem a little high. Greater than $3500 for transport on a flatbed. Any contacts would be appreciated.

Uship .com works well. I sent some furnature (sofa, queen bed) from Albuquerque to SF for $300.00 He was going to pick up a truck he would have had room for a boat and trailer.Nautiqueless in San Diego

I used uShip as well from CA to TX. It was my first time and it went smooth. About $1200 to have a reputable, insured carrier it tow behind a box truck (this protected the boat somewhat from the wind/debris). I would recommend travelling with the tower up.
I forgot the name though.

I purchased the 2012 PN 210 just a few months ago. The boat was shipped from White Lake, NC to my house in Houston, TX. I used UShip.com and found a shipper located in NC. If you contact him directly, you can get a much better deal than going through UShip. I highly recommend him. He did a terrific job; his communication was great (he personally answered the phone every time I called); he's fully insured and provided me a copy of his insurance certificate before he picked up the boat; he even moved up the ship date at the last minute at my request. Cost me about $1400, but would have been cheaper if I went directly through him (rather than UShip).
His name is Harry LeBar with Lake Norman Transport. 704-975-2876

He will tow the boat on its own trailer (not on a flatbed).Current: 2017 G23

My neighbor sold his boat near Houston Texas in 2010 to a couple in Edmonton Canada. The buyers arranged for Showroom Transport to tow it to Montana/Canada border for $1,250. http://www.showroomtransport.com/default.asp
The driver had a dually diesel pickup and towed the boat on its own trailer. It is 1,900 miles or more.
