Preparing Your Center Console Boat for Shipping

A well-prepared boat is crucial for smooth, damage-free transportation. Follow these essential steps to get your vessel ready for transit:

1. Clean the Exterior: Thoroughly wash the hull and deck to remove salt, dirt, and marine residue. A clean surface makes it easier to inspect for any pre-existing damage and ensures better protection during transport.

2. Remove Loose Items: Take off or securely stow all removable items such as coolers, fishing rods, electronics, cushions, and personal gear. Loose objects can shift during transit, leading to damage or loss.

3. Secure or Remove T-Tops: If your center console has a fixed T-top, ensure it’s tightly fastened and braced. If it’s detachable, remove it to reduce height and prevent damage during overland transport.

4. Drain Fluids: Lower the fuel level to about one-quarter of a tank to reduce weight and fire risk. Empty live wells, bilge water tanks, and freshwater tanks to prevent leaks and comply with transportation regulations.

5. Document Condition: Take clear, timestamped photos of your boat from multiple angles. These will serve as a visual record of its pre-shipment condition in case of disputes or insurance claims.

6. Disconnect Batteries: Power down all electronics and disconnect the battery terminals. This prevents accidental drainage, short circuits, or other electrical issues during transit.


Cost of Shipping a Center Console Boat

Shipping a center console boat can range from $2 to $5 per mile on average, depending on several key factors. For example, transporting a 25-foot boat over 500 miles might cost between $1,000 and $2,500. Costs vary widely based on the boat’s size, route complexity, and required equipment. Understanding the elements that affect pricing will help you plan effectively and avoid unexpected expenses.

What Influences Center Console Boat Shipping Rates?

1. Size & Weight of the boat:

The boat’s size is a significant factor that contributes to the typical cost. For example, standard-sized boats can be transported using standard containers and trailers, whereas larger boats cannot be transported in the same manner. It can also affect which routes a boat transport company can take if transporting by road.

Measure the following for an accurate estimate:

  • Length: Measure from the bow’s tip (including anchor rollers or bow pulpit) to the stern’s furthest point, such as a fixed swim platform or outboard motor.
     
  • Height: Measure from the keel (bottom of the hull) to the highest fixed point—usually the top of the T-top, hardtop, or radar equipment.
     
  • Beam (Width): Measure the widest part of the boat, typically at the rub rails or gunwales.

Many center console boats with fixed T-tops or towers may exceed 13’6” in height or 8’6” in beam, qualifying them as oversized loads. This will require permits, route planning, and possibly escort vehicles—adding to the total transport cost.

2. Additional services:

Larger boats also require oversized load permits and additional handling services during the loading and unloading process, which adds to the cost. Furthermore, transporting a larger boat to urban areas often requires escort vehicles, which contributes to the overall cost of transportation.

3. Distance:

The distance between the pickup and destination location is also a significant factor. Longer routes typically cost less per mile and incur higher overall costs. Local hauls and intercity movements tend to have lower prices than interstate or nationwide shipments.

4. Peak and off-peak seasons:

Summers and springs are typically peak seasons for the transportation industry; hence, due to limited carrier availability and tighter schedules, prices tend to increase. However, off-peak seasons offer more discounted prices and flexible scheduling.

5. Pickup & delivery locations

Depending on the ease of access to the pickup and delivery location, prices may fluctuate. Remote areas, with limited access, may cost more than central locations on major routes, as they require extra miles to pick up or deliver the boat.

6. Flexibility of schedule

Flexible shipping dates often lead to better rates. Rushed or guaranteed delivery services add to the overall cost.
