Anybody have direct personal experience with moving a large powerboat overland by truck? I’m shopping for a boat, and it seems like all the boats we’re interested in are in Tennessee or Michigan (I’m in Norfolk, VA. Yeah, it seems like there ought to be lots of boats on the Bay, but so far no luck). So I’m pondering the prospect of buying a boat far off somewhere and trucking it home. I’ve read a good deal about it - a complex and expensive proposition. While there are lots of concerns, the one big issue/concern I have is the height restriction. I’ve read that for bigger boats (I’m talking 45-50’ Range) sometimes they have to remove the fly bridge to get the height low enough to clear bridges. That really bothers me. Seems to me the odds of removing a fly bridge, moving it a thousand miles, reinstalling it, and having everything work and look right would be pretty slim.
Has anybody done this? Any recommendations for a boat-moving company I could call to get more info?
Thanks
