    Boat shipping question

    I’m looking to buying a boat from Missouri and I live in ohio I was just curious if anybody had their boat shipped once they bought them and on average how much it would cost with today’s gas prices and everything I was wondering if it’s cheaper to ship it rather than drive down and get it

    It is simple. I used Uship. Someone hooks it up and drives it out. The guy who did mine was great. Kept me updated. Drove my boat from TN to CO with no issues.

    Made financial sense to me. I bought a showroom condition used boat from a private seller I trusted. Didn't seem risky to me, but I did my due diligence.

    I think I paid like $1600 from TN to CO. Some of the lower end quotes were $1200. That was a year ago.
