Rather than just look locally, I'm looking all over on Yachtworld for the perfect boat. Problem is, I don't really know if a boat that is far away is a viable option or not.
I've heard shipping quotes ranging from $1-5/mile. A 5x spread? That's not very helpful... I also don't trust the "ship my boat" estimator on yachtworld. They would seem to have a vested interest in making shipping look cheap so that more boats are bought and sold.
Any potential boat would be shipped to near the Seattle area. Anyone know what it would cost to ship something from the SF bay area, San Diego, or Ft Lauderdale FL? I was thinking something that is 25,000lb or so, 13ft wide and 45 feet long.
Any good or bad shipping companies, or wisdom for those who have shipped a boat?
