Baller oldjeep Posted December 30, 2014 Baller Share Posted December 30, 2014 MRE is a local company (MN) that was started by a friend of mine and he sold it to another friend. Might try talking with them - otherwise uship. - http://www.mreboattransport.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporting Member TustinTom Posted December 30, 2014 Supporting Member Share Posted December 30, 2014 Hi: Do NOT use UAT Lines out of Miami. Damaged my car in delivery from Daytona Beach MB. Also, if it is a new to you purchase, make sure it is Insured before it is picked-up. You may want to ask if it will be "dropped off at a depot/switching station" and picked up by another driver. I think this is where my damage occurred. Regards, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller RAWSki Posted December 31, 2014 Baller Share Posted December 31, 2014 Try UShip.com you can set up a bid request and different drivers can provide quotes and dates, most drivers include references and bios. I shipped my boat form CA to MI and had a great experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ RichardDoane Posted December 31, 2014 Baller_ Share Posted December 31, 2014 +1 on the U-ship, I sold my 1964 Ranchero on ebay a couple years ago and sent it to WI, just always check references ans have insurance coverage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clemsondave Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 +2 on uship. I used it to find a guy semi local. I contacted him directly the second year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Kelvin Posted December 31, 2014 Baller Share Posted December 31, 2014 Definitely do your homework on uShip drivers. I few years ago I sold my boat to a guy in Austrailia. The boat needed to get to the port in LA and the buyer used uShip. That transaction went fine, but the Austrailian buyer bought another boat here in the US and tried to use the same uShip guy again and prepaid him for the job. He never heard from the shipper again.

crashman Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Uship can be a good place to start but x2 on doing homework. Lots of low cost "shippers" will have no insurance or an inadequate tow vehicle. Another option is to chat with some of the RV factories in northern indiana and see who they use to take RVs to orlando and see if they can bring the boat to you on a back haul. The guy who brought my boat to Indy from California had taken an RV to Sacramento and was picking up another in Elkhart to take to Oklahoma.

Baller ColeGiacopuzzi Posted January 14, 2015 Baller Share Posted January 14, 2015 I don't know if you still need help on this, @barefooter2baller but in October we went through shipping our 200 from silver spray sports in Michigan to California! We used uship and it was great got here in 2 days, if you would like the guy we used just let me know he was awesome! Enjoy your boat!

barefooter2baller Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 @Jordan sounds like .75 is an average number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
