boat hauling

anyone have any suggestion about bringing a 21' center console down to east coast of florida from NJ. I was going to trailer it myself but am now thinking about getting someone to haul it down. Does anybody have any recommendations or options? I have also heard that some boat companies offer discounts when shipping back to florida as they typically have empty trailers.....thanks

Check out www.1staboard.com

It is a board where you post your shipping info, and people check it regularly to see what needs to be shipped.

When I bought my Formula, I had a guy from a large shipping company call me and was coming from Wisconsin to Mass to pick up a huge yacht and bring it back. He was passing right thru Michigan, where my boat was, with an empty trailer.

They charged me half the cost of the lowest price I got anywhere else. So, they made money (better than an empty trailer) and I got a hell of a break.

Good luck!
