Wanted, Cross Country Boat Delivery

[jadoca]

I need a new 17' foot boat transported from Florida to California sometime in December. Anyone headed this way? Suggestions?

The smartest way to do it would be to contact Horizon Transport or one of the other transport companies. It might (or might not) cost a little more but if you do it that way you will have it done with complete insurance coverage beginning with a pickup on a designated or agreed date and you will know exactly when it will arrive. If anything should go wrong and the boat is damaged or stolen in transit you'll receive full compensation. No risk to you that way. The next best way might be to catch the attention of a TDR member who pulls for one of the transport companies who has taken a FEMA unit or other trailer from CA to FL. Some of the Horizon drivers have volunteered to haul only FEMA trailers for a while and some of them are being hauled from SOCAL to FL. Your boat would make a good backhaul for one of those drivers to make a loaded loop.

Harvey, thank you for the lead. Horizon won't work for me monetary wise, but provided me with an avenue that may. It would be ideal if I could find, and compensate a TDR member, or other, headed this way.
