there is a guy by the name of Bob, his son works at ocean beach marina he hauls boats up and down the east coastI could probably get his number this weekendif you want it.
Family Jewels is referring to Bob Collins. He does haul boats, more local than LD. I would guess he would be very expensive. He can usually be contacted through Ocean Beach marina at 732-793-7460 then follow the prompts to the service dept.
I would sugget Drew Pierson. I used him to bring my 26' boat up to Point Pleasant from Wilmington, NC. He is super honest and a good guy too. He's hard working and can use the $$. He has his own 18 wheler with a low-boy trailer. If you have a trailer, like I did, he puts that on the truck too. His number is 910-617-3739. Please tell him Scott with the Pursuit sent you. PS- I get nothing out of this, he was just a good guy that can use the work.
I just had a 27' boat transported from NJ to Miami. I can't remember the name of the company but their number is on my cell phone: 305-245-4524. They got it here a day early at a good price.
We sometimes use a a transport broker. A1-Haul-a-Boat. Do a google search on that name. Cheapest hauler I know of.
We use Joule Yacht Transport also for our Glacier Bay's. The GB's always arrive in great condition and there price is competitive. You can see them here http://www.jouleyacht.com/
Check out www.continuouswave.com (Boston Whaler site). Click on market place. There is a fellow who is hauling a boat from NJ to Florida, and is looking for a boat ta haul back to NJ.
There's a guy named Owen Purser in NC that has a hauler. Does a lot of oversized work for the Wanchese [read extremely high dollar] boys.
This guy moved my Jupiter from FL to NC and I cannot speak highly enough about him. Considerate, responsible, the most capable guy I've ever seen. Told me half his time is spent in NY/NJ.
Bottom line is my boat arrived almost ONE WHOLE DAY BEFORE HE HAD PROMISED IT, AND AT HIS QUOTED PRICE.
I can't find his damn phone number right now- email me if you are interested in him and I'll get it from my office.
Wish I could remember his name but I used a super great guy based in Solomons area of MD to haul my 32 in 99. He had a low boy, which we needed, & hydraulic trailers.
Our contracted hauler, Destination Bound, makes quite a few trips north and is always looking for a boat to help complete a load. We have a small dealer in Waretown, NJ. and most of his loads are short where the hauler is looking for another boat to go north. I suggest you give them a call at 321-453-0205, speak with either Tom or Sarah Williams.
My buddy used Millers Marine in Tolchester, MD to transport his new Dusky 233 Open from Fl to NJ. One thing I would recommend if you are buying a new boat is to get down there when its complete and have a good look at it, that way you can adress any issues before it ships. We picked ours up. I remember it cost around 700 for me and my brother in law including hotels and meals. We left on Wednesday and were back on Sunday.
