need boat shipping recommendation in NJ

Post by marka »

The wife (for whom Linda Jean is) pukes on a sailboat but not on a power boat so....

We got a deal on a 72 Christ Craft Lancer in NJ so we need it shipped up to Oswego. Can anyone recommend a good shipping company (or responsible guys with a pick-up truck)?

Hi Mark,

Have you seen this web site?
http://www.njboatmover.com/newjersey-boathaulers.htm

I've never had a boat moved by truck before, so I can't really recommend one. But the folks at the boat yard where we keep our boat also move boats. You can give them a try.

Mark,
I used Boat Express to move my CD 36 last winter from Texas to NC. They did a great job. They also gave me the best price of about a dozen places I called to get quotes. No hassles, no surprises, on time, and very professional. Ask for Bob Queen. http://www.boatsexpress.com/

Has both hauled and splashed my Chris Craft 28' in NJ. Hauls local and long distance. Several trucks & trailers. Reliable, great communications, priced mid-market. Very careful with my boat, and full of great advice. Does sail, old wood boats and power.

Several months ago I shipped my Typhoon Sr with Douglas Wilkinson whom I found through UShip. He did a great job and was very reasonable. His number is 919-971-0655. His company is called Door 2 Door.
Good luck-
Frank
