However, this is only an approximation due to many factors beyond their control such as weather, traffic re-routes allowed, and availability of marina operations for loading and unloading schedules.

Measure your boat properly for transport
When requesting a budget to carry your boat, the dimensions are extremely important. Please follow these guidelines to measure your boat accurately. In order to carry the his boat for the lowest price possible, try to carry Boat Transporters over a small boat going the same direction at the same time. That is why it is important to the carrier by boat to see the entire total length of your ship in order to know what boats will fit on trailers.
Overall length: bow pulpits Include, swim platforms, outboard motor brackets, outboard motors themselves (the length of the engine or out drives in the raised position). If a trailer, include from the tip of the tongue to the end of the engine.
Total Height: The maximum height of the many bridges is 13 feet 6 inches. Many mega yachts require trailers boy belly scale down to the keel to play down there. Using this type of trailer yachts height can sometimes be low enough to avoid the use of a car if the pole loaded boat is smaller than the state-by-state retention time (the New England area has many low bridges and re-routes can be dictated by the Transportation Department. Boats with an overall height greater than 13.6 'loaded on the trailer require special handling and routing. It is critical to measure from the bottom of the keel to the most High non-removable from the boat.
The project (the water line to the bottom of the keel) + (clearance from the waterline to the highest part of the vessel) equal to the total height in feet. Pending on your model, if the bridge may need to fly or be removed. It is important to measure the vessel without the bridge and also provide the dimensions of the space bridge to ensure adequate transportation. Remember to measure twice – cut once!
The bridge should be placed somewhere suitable on the boat and to some it is safely secured. If it should be placed on the trailer, a framework should be prepared for it to rest. If your radar arch is removed, it should be protected your boat. You might consider using carpet to protect areas where surfaces may "touch."
Electronics such as radios, Loran Systems, etc. must be shipped separately or securely stowed in your cabin, with all the cabin doors, windows and other access, locked.
GENERAL BEAM / width: The beam of your boat is measured as the widest point of the boat including anything attached to the boat.
Remove and properly store the following items. … IF IN DOUBT PULL IT OUT!
This includes valuables, all electronics outside, anchors, Antennas, propellers, Flagstaffs, stabilizers, any item that extends beyond the period indicated, width or height of your vessel, all fabrics, fabrics, pillows, and weatherboards, radar transmitters, loudspeakers and boats.
Check the drain plugs. There should be no water in the basement, while it is being transported.
Drain the water and fuel tanks as much as possible. Be sure the tank is not more than ΒΌ full. During the winter months, water must be drained of water systems, pumps and air conditioners.
Batteries must be disconnected and the cables tied to avoid contact.
If hatch covers Cells are the engine that must be protected to prevent opening while in transit.
Make sure all loose items or items that could be freed
Additional instructions for carrying his wooden boat.
It is highly recommended that the wooden boats will be transported in its own custom cradle. This is suggested because there may be inherent structural weaknesses that are not readily visible or detectable. Cots designed and will distribute the weight of the boat in a much larger contact area. wooden boats can be expected to dry. A coat of linseed oil will help. Most Boat Transport Companies will ask you to sign a statement of responsibility for wooden boats.
Additional instructions Sail Boat Transport.
Make sure that all Poles are non-mast and reinforced-rigged. All cables and distributors should be tied to the pole. ALL rigging, winches, wind indicators and lights must be removed from the mast. The stronger side of the mast should be left in our trailer. Involvement of poles is optional, but should be considered. Carpet should be provided for in point mooring mast. Expect some friction at these points. If the mast is painted, it is almost impossible to keep painting of friction. The carrier will not pay to repaint masts if there is friction. Do not hold the mast of the boat, as there is a space in the trailer for the carrier the mast. Should be guaranteed the mast of the boat, the carrier shall not be liable for any damages resulting from the mast or the boat.
lifelines, stanchions, bow and stern pulpits should be removed to make the boat more in height. In the center board sailboats, make sure the board is secured and will stay in transit. Keel sailboats may expect some separation of the keel where it joins the hull. This is not a structural damage, but the paint or filler cracking at the joint. Light built or racing sailboats can expect some hull indentation from support pads. These indentations generally disappear when the boat is returned to the water.
Rudders, sticks, ladders, outboards, and anything else that can turn or flap in the wind, should be removed and / or well protected.
