Had my boat shipped from Minnesota using uship. About 1200 miles. The guy who bid on it had about 80 trips and 100% positive feedback. Felt pretty good about it. He even stopped at the store and got me some new transom straps.

jMorr34, what did that 1200 miles run you? I am not sure what to expect from uship quotes.

Whats your total estimate cost to fly, rent, and drive back? Not sure how it compares to using a service like uship.com

Not to mention, they are going to tack on a big charge for dropping in a different city. Would probably come out much better to get it delivered.

A little over 1200 miles ran me $1150. I think you could expect 600-800 for that trip. You'll get some quotes over 1000 too.

What is the backstory here? You can't drive over to Orlando with your own vehicle? Or don't have the time?

Its a ten hr drive. For a boat I'd drive over and get it, spend the night somewhere and come home.

Flying anywhere and driving the return trip with a new boat makes a much better story.


And saves him a vacation day.

What color NS? I'll be looking for you driving by my house soon.

Uhaul pickup is the answer.

I’m not sure a one way tow is possible with anything outside of like a uhaul. I’m not sure uhaul has anything that will tow a large boat? It’s more for towing a vehicle on a move. I’ve done the Enterprise truck rental and it had to be round trip, but that may have changed.

Following up on this. I put a bid on uShip and received about 12 quotes in 2 days ranging from $675 to $1100, I went with one who had 50+ 5star ratings and was $850. Boat gets here Friday. I figured by the time I fly and rent and factor in my time driving, I could get more chores done here and justify more fishing time next week. Thanks for all of your input.

Bring your own hitch, rent a Tahoe it’s got a built in tow package. Don’t get caught.

Dove it several times

Just drive down, buy it, and bring it back.
1 day down and 1 day back.

Pretty simple.
