Cheers, all! Just bought my very first boat in a partnership with a good friend our here in the Ventura California area... A used 2008 2320SL which we actually purchased in North Carolina because any decent fishing boat in California is ridiculously overpriced.. It is a beautiful boat with a 250HP Yamaha F250 with 270 hours on it, and the boat is immaculate as well. Unfortunately we are probably going to take it in the shorts to get the boat shipped out here across country and that will probably eat up the money we saved buying an east coast boat. Does anyone have any advice in terms of how to protect the boat for such a long trip? We will be getting the boat towed across on its own trailer, and we are getting our trailer fully checked out before the trip- hubs, bearings, brakes, tires, etc. Any recommendations from anyone who may have been through this would be great. We would love to have the boat arrive in the mint condition in which it currently exists! Thanks in advance! Oh, so far it looks like we are going to pay around 4 grand for shipping. I didn't want to go with the lowest bidder on Uship because we actually want our boat to make it to California in one piece so we used a shipper recommended by the boat seller that is in the business of towing boats...
