I found UShip via the Internet. I opened up a bid... included detailed description of boat (length, width, trailer, and weight), included pictures, and choose to do the "instant bid acceptance" of $450. Most bids that I had sought before when deciding to purchase a boat from the pacific northwest had ranged in the $650 to $700 range... at least with the shippers that I felt comfortable with. Denis B.(cbrnwlkr)accepted this bid, largely, I think, because I had a 30 day7 window for transport to allow shippers to combine this with another load.
He made contact with the seller-marina ahead of time and we all coordinated the prep of the boat and shipment.
I was very pleased with the service he rendered and would recommend him to others. Now, if the seller would have just included the boat keys...
