Just a quick summary. Got the boat back to MN just this past week. Everything went off without a hitch! Along the way, I worked with a lot of people in Houston, TX. Hats off to Dockside Marine, their shrink wrapper named Chip, the marina across the street named Inland Marine and my fantastic shipper who delivered my boat on a flatbed - Mick! If anyone needs any referrals for shipping a boat or working through some logistics, let me know. Bad thing is, I've got to put this fantastic boat in storage for the winter next week. :( Can't wait for spring. Thanks to all who helped. Especially to socalskier who helped me find Mick.
