My cousin and I just had a full size Chevy 3/4 p/up
hauled door to door (Portsmouth, NH to Daytona Beach, FL.)
for $700...
The guy is an independent hauler and runs the east coast
hauling snow birds back and forth. He was about at the end
of the season as he called it two weeks ago. Not sure if
he could transport your boat, but it is worth a try..

Pete is a super nice guy and very timely on shipping.

I will PM you his cell number. He works out of Maine.

See ya, Ken

PS: We tried the Uship and the lowest price we got
was $1200

I also used uship.com to get my 21 to CA from MI. Keep in mind moving a vehicle is a lot cheaper as they can load as many as 10 cars/trucks at a time on an auto hauler.

A boat on a trailer with an 8' beam and 80" wheel base doesn't fit on an auto hauler so the result is it gets towed or put on a flatbed. The former method is usually much cheaper.

If you go with uship read the service provider's reviews and make some form of contract. I had one guy that wouldn't take paypal or a credit card and wanted a green dot money card transfer (NO WAY).
In the end I went with a guy that accepted payment on delivery.

Good Luck.

Frank Mole - you can find him on Scream-Fly he runs up and down all the time - sometimes empty with specials, I presume he would show up in google. Does boats up to 28'

I think he would be your best option - all those guys love him

I also used U-Ship to bring up a 20' MA fro South Carolina. Cost was around $650. Got several bids through that site. I highly recommend it. Bids varied considerably.
