I just used an excellent shipper for my ‘08 parker 2510 and he got my boat to me in 60 hrs from Naples Florida. I made the deal on a Tuesday and he picked it up on Friday and delivered Sunday night. His price was better than all the uship bids, ($1/mile)because he didn’t have to pay fees. He was in contact the whole way. His name is Cory Pickvet 1(843)730-4136. He has a ram 3500 dually.
He was recommended to me by HEX ( hector), who just had his Parker 2320 delivered by Cory also. If you have any questions pm me.

Looked into having a 23’ Pacific shipped from Westerly RI to my home LA. Cheapest I could find was $4100. They are a little cheaper as the weather improves, I’ll try to look thru my files for the info.

Good Luck

    Ron,

    Seems like shippers like to escalate rates in the winter months for those cold weather states.

    Try Henry 256.510.0087.

    I have a boat in CT that also needs to come this way and I'm trying to find a week to put in some windshield time and $1400 in fuel to get it here myself.

    You could check with some of the local yacht brokers and see who they use. But sounds like you got some good leads already!

    Not trying to hijac your thread but I am looking for transport of a kawasaki mule from San Diego to Los Cabos. UShip has offered a bid but hoping for some recommendations on the same subject. Will delete and repost if there are objections.

    This is a great recommendation based on real experience. The fact that the shipper got it out here quickly, safely, and stayed in constant contact with the buyer is awesome!! People like this are hard to find!
    Like others here, I've been looking on the east coast as well for another boat.
    If I find something back there, this will be my guy for sure!!

    He is licensed and insured. Delivered our new boat from the factory. He let us know the progress daily. Even washed the boat before handling it over to us. Very accommodating.

    I can vouch for Cory Pickvet. Excellent experience, fast shipping, and nice guy! You won't be disappointed. He picked up my Parker 2320 on a Tuesday morning from South Carolina and had it at my house on Thursday evening in Oxnard. You can call him anytime day or night and he will pick up and keep you updated. Tell him Hector and Brandon sent you.

    Was the boat you purchased on Craigslist? or where did you find it? If so. how did you go about paying the previous owner for the boat before it was shipped?

    I found the parker 2510xld on boat trader, it was the only newer 2510 For sale that wasn’t brand new and I searched everywhere. I flew out to inspect the boat and seatrial. It had brand new yamahas with 5 year warranty, so I didn’t have to much to worry about them. I paid with cashiers check and flew back all in the same day. Shipper picked up and I paid him upon delivery. It’s the second time I have purchased a boat and shipped it. Easy process as long as you do your due diligence.

    If you're getting a box truck and you wanna keep it really cheap, just pick-up a free futon on C-list when you're out there and you got a place to sleep/nap on the road, just as long as you don't freeze your ass off...

    BTW, where you hiding boats in "The Ranch"? Wish I could(HOA:finger:), checked out this place last week....:drool:

    I saw that place up on Birch Bluff Ave. last week also ($$$). Pretty cool to be able to park your boat in the garage. I'm too old and it's too cold to sleep in the back of that uhaul!

    $1300 plus gas, food, hotel, time, risk of accident. Personaly my time is more valuable imo. Just hire someone and spend $2500.
