Hi Charlie, I had my M17 shipped from Colorado to Portland OR. I have a wonderful shipping broker I used...I will send you his contact info this evening when I get home from work. He arranged transport with my boat and trailer on a flatbed. The cost was $1400k. He kept me in communication every step along the way...can't say enough good things about him.

Is it best to have the boat/trailer combo put onto a flatbed? Any war stories? Recommended shipping companies? Thanks for your advice, Charlie -- Charlie Fortner Earth, USA, GA, Atlanta
