Preparing the Boat for Transport

Getting your trawler boat ready for transport is extremely important. Here's a simple checklist to help you prepare:

• Clean the Bottom of the Boat:

Remove any marine growth or residue from the hull and through-hull valves. This helps comply with state regulations, especially at inspection stations.

• Secure and Remove Loose Items:

Remove detachable items, such as barbecue grills, safety harnesses, buoys, and anchors. Clear the cockpit and make sure anything that could shift during transport is properly secured.

• Empty Fuel and Water Tanks:

Drain all fuel and water tanks to prevent leaks. Also, unplug battery terminals and disconnect all power sources for safety during transit.

• Remove Personal and Flammable Items:

Remove personal items, such as clothes, food, linens, and electronics. Be sure to remove any flammable materials such as propane tanks, Sterno cans, and emergency flares.

• Inspect and Document Preexisting Damage:

Carefully inspect your boat for any existing scratches, dents, or other damage. Make a record for reference in case any damage occurs during transport.

• Take Time-Stamped Photos:

Photograph your boat from all angles, making sure the date and time are recorded. These photos can be helpful for insurance purposes if needed.

 

COST OF SHIPPING A TRAWLER BOAT?

When planning a shipment, cost is one of the most important factors to consider. All-state-to-state is providing the best shipping services at the best affordable prices. Although there is no single price for every shipment, prices vary due to the size, type of boat, and destination location. The average cost of shipping a trawler boat can range from $1.25 to $10.00, depending on the type of shipping (local haul to a nearby location or nationwide shipping) and the method of transport, among other factors. Certain factors will decide the final cost of the shipping.

1. Boat Size and Weight: The size of your boat is a primary factor in determining shipping costs. Generally, larger boats cost more to ship per mile. Here’s what you need to measure:

Length: From the bow’s tip to the stern center

Height: From the keel base to the highest non-removable point

Width (Beam): The widest points, including the rub rail.

Boats taller than 13'6 "typically require specialized transport arrangements, while those with a beam exceeding 8'6" are classified as oversized loads, necessitating special permits and contributing to the overall shipping cost.

2. Distance: Long-distance transport can be cheaper per mile; however, the overall cost will be higher. Prices also vary depending on the route, such as local, intercity, or interstate movement, as well as whether it is a straight route or a complex transport route.

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

4. Seasonality: Boat shipping costs fluctuate throughout the year. During the summer, it is considered the peak season, with an increase in demand and limited carrier availability, resulting in higher prices.

5. Flexibility of schedule: Flexible shipping dates often lead to better rates. Rushed or guaranteed delivery services will typically cost more.
