anybody have a clue of what the costs of hauling a boat are?  I'm considering the purchase of a project boat of 37' (flybridge removed) about 40 miles.  I have no clue about costs...

Do you want pro's ? http://www.jouleyacht.com/( Joule Yacht transport)

Though I am sure in this economy that you could shop around for an independent.  Just make sure they are insured.

Think you mean transporting or trailering it. Gonna need a lowboy and oversize premits. No clue of the cost.

For hauling it out, Shell Point Marina charges $250 to haul it out and place it on a trailer. If it's on a rack already, it must be lifted by a travel lift and placed on the trailer. Probably close to the same price.

Remember, if it's in the water, you gotta haul it out.

It's on jacks now and want it 'moved' to my location.  I made a few calls and was surprised that the costs are only about $1,000 for 50 miles.  The expensive part is the crane rental--ouch.
