Well, if I can get this boat here, I will be able to fish this season. Does anybody have thoughts on getting a bot shipped from OK to MA? I’ve reached out to a couple hotshot drivers, but zero response. Any help here would be appreciated.

Uship.com... I used it to ship my boat from TN to CO. Easy process.
I tried to get shipment from CO to NY and only had one taker at ridiculous money. I went and got it for a third of the price.Originally Posted by nicapopolis
Rent a truck go get it?
if you really want something go get it that way you can look it over an lake test it. if you dont do that whatever happens is your own fault.
I would NEVER buy a Boat sight unseen !! Take a Trip !! Do a little fishing on the way home !!!

I'll go get it for you but it might end up in Northern California lol
First quote is at 6G. Finding a truck to tow it home is impossible so far. Second quote came in at $1800. This may be more aggravating than finding the boat to begin with.
That's roughly 1700 miles. At fifteen miles per gallon at 3.50 a gallon that's $400 in gas, which leaves $1400 for at least 25 hours of driving, which breaks down to $56/hr with everything else included. I'd snatch that up.

Whoever would do it .... also would have to get back home ---- unless they are planning on living there after delivery...LOL.

I LIKE boats...BUT I LOVE PLANES
Oh yeah.... I love the RT188 too.
Fly down, check out rig, purchase and rent a U-Haul truck, or similar?

my thought also….
Enterprise here is the only truck rental I could find and it was select locations only. Give them a call and let them know you want to tow. Uhaul wouldn’t do it.
And we couldn’t set up a one way rental.

tell us what boat you want and we might be able to find another boat faster and easier than that one to get home?

most of the rental folks that rent trucks make you sign docs that you wont pull a trailer.
Not to mention the return trip back to Oklahoma (or wherever). I figured around $800 in fuel for round trip. I wouldn’t make that drive pulling a boat for $1800.

Uhauls pull their own trailers all the time, hell I pulled my car all over the country on one of their car trailers. Weird to me they won’t allow a person to tow with it. Sorry I know this doesn’t help just thinking out loud.

I looked at that route myself and found the exact same thing. I did find one and can't remember who, but the price of that was more than paying someone to go get it. I did the drive to Colorado from NY and back in four days. Of course gas was about .50 a gallon less and booking.com saved me a ton on hotel rooms. I wish I could have stayed a bit longer but work schedule didn't permit it.
