Boat / Trailer Transport from down South?

[afterhours]

don't forget that boats are cheaper down 'cause they usually get twice the use, longer season.

Cost me $1400.00 for my boat and trailer to bring it here from Grant, FL. on a flatbed. When it got here I got $500.00 back from the company because they brought 2 boats (mine & somebody else's) and my boat was bigger so they put the small boat up front and they didn't notice that it leaked gear oil before they left, they arrived here with both boats on the trailer and I saw RED! The boat they put up front lost all it's gear oil on the trip, guess where it landed? Yep, all over my boat, from bow to stern inside and out it was covered! The guy was alittle surprised when I bitched about it and made him call his boss.

I got it cleaned nice though, I took the boat and trailer to one of those carwashes that still actually have people wash your car and asked if they wanted to make $300.00 to wash my boat, they were like ants all over it cleaning it. It was done in an hour and a half and looked like it just rolled out of the showroom.

They even put 2 pine tree airfresheners on the center console for giggles.

There are a glut of boats down there...Many people can't get insurance and are force to either pay off a loan and go naked or sell the boat. My brother picked up a nice aquasport with 40 hours on it for less then what was owed. He made the trip up and back and towed it. It was a long ride but it worked out for him.
