good transport company?
« on: May 02, 2011, 02:36:54 PM »
Can anyone recommend a good transport company or individual that can tow or flatbed a 99 Osprey 245 on a new trailer from Florida to North Dakota?

Scott,

Send me a PM. The guy whom Bob is referring to has hauled three times for me. He does a good job, is bonded and insured. He has a Cummins diesel 3500 Dodge duely.

I have had good success with USHIP.COM  These are independent contractors. Post your specific details and they will bid on your shipment.

Call Mike Holcomb - he's a really good guy and does his best to make sure the boat is properly prepped and cared for in-route.  He hauled a boat down from CT to NC for me recently and did a great job.  He can also splash your boat at the destination if you don't want the expense of a lift.  Here's his contact info:

Sorry for the late reply......it cost $2600.00 all in. I had lower quotes but they all bailed or increased the $$ when I tried to commit....also had quotes as high as $4800.00.
Boat is in the water.....it has a few issues.... but an incredible craft.
