What was the company that didn't work out? Topic comes up from time to time - Willard Marine used to use Joule so I've mentioned their name but have no personal experience. While I appreciate your being polite, your history on TF tells me you've got decent experience and knowledge coupled with level headedness. If you're comfortable, I'd be interested the bad experience (assuming it's first hand experience). Totally understand if you'd prefer to stay quiet though.The first and only call you should make is to Associated Transport out of Marysville Washington. I've used them a few times for long transports and the results were consistently outstanding.
I used another well-known company once with disastrous results.
It’s crossed my mind but would like to build some confidence with the boat before that type of tripIf you have the time I would run the boat on it’s own bottom. You would get to experience the TSW, outstanding, and the NY canals too. It can be a trip of a lifetime.
Is it your experience or just not knowing orvtrusting the boat?It’s crossed my mind but would like to build some confidence with the boat before that type of trip
We bought a boat in Puget Sound and ran it down to LA. Bought another one in Virginia and ran it home to Michigan l. Both were fantastic trips. But the TSW was the best cruising we have ever done. I did some work on both boats and ran some short shakedown cruises before we left on the trips home. Didn’t have any problems on either trip.It’s crossed my mind but would like to build some confidence with the boat before that type of trip

That is actually a pretty easy trip,no real open water other than the trip across Lake Huron, and by the time you get to the Erie Canal you should have plenty of experience and confidence for the locks. It is a nice trip I have done it a time or two and always enjoyed it.It’s crossed my mind but would like to build some confidence with the boat before that type of trip
