Boat Transport

After a year of shopping I just found a new boat.  I need to get it shipped from Florida to Erie.  30' Searay.  Anybody know of any good shippers?

    Is it on a trailer?

    If yes, is the trailer road ready? (plates, good tires & bearings)

    On the internet, EVERYONE is entitled to their opinion!

    I looked at that before going south last month.
    Did not find a load in the area I was going this time but did haul a motorcycle to Charlotte last year listed on another site.

    Every so often we ship a piece of very expensive equipment, watching that show just makes me cringe... We've had very good luck with MoveIt...

    Thanks for all the suggestions.  The deal fell through.  The seller refused to fix any issues found.  I think he had sellers remorse.  I did try uship and it was a $1000 more that the low bid of $3000 from a local guy down there.  He was highly recommended.
