How To Transport A Boat

Your happiness of getting a great deal on a boat sale can sometimes betarnished when you realise how difficult it can be to safely and securely ship such a large item. Although it is tempting to sign up for the cheapest transportation option, spending a little time making sure your boat will be in safe hands is a worthwhile investment. When selecting a carrier to transport a boat, keep in mind that asking about their level of experience, licensing, and insurance is just as important as their pricing.

Tips on How to Transport a Boat

* Be sure to measure your boat’s overall length, width and breadth accurately as there may be regulations in place relating to the size, and so that you will be able to give the most accurate dimensions to your carrier.
* Drain any fuel or water from all tanks.
* Secure any loose boat gear or remove it in order to prevent damage to your boat due to road vibration. Be sure the deck is clear and there is nothing that can come loose and damage the interior.
* Disconnect batteries and tie or tape together any electronic cables, which should also be secured.
* Removable radios, radar systems, etc. can be removed, packed securely and shipped separately or securely stored below.
* Lock all interior doors and check that lockers are securely locked or fastened. Also consider securing hatches with tape.
* Remove all items that protrude from the boat such as propellers, antennas, lights, flags, etc., and secure below deck or ship separately.
* Canvas covers should not be used while shipping a boat and also, be sure to check with your transport provider regarding the use of commercial plastic wrap.

what is the best small 4 door hatch back car to tow a boat . the boat is about 18ft long?

ps. it is on a trailer.

Diesel? To tow an 18 foot boat? Why? Absolutely not necessary. A six cylinder might do the trick for a boat this size but this also depends on distance that one is going to tow. With a six, or even a small eight, the key thing to have would be a transmission cooler system installed if long hauls are expected. For local…not necessary. A good tow vehichle for a boat this size would be a Ford Explorer Sport Trac. Comes with a 6 or 8 cyl, can carry 5 adults and everything for the boat in the bed.

We for years towed a 25′ Chaparral cuddy on a dual axle trailer with a full sized Bronco. No problems with it at all. One hint…make certain your tongue weight is adjusted so that just enough downward pressure keeps the trailer on the ball. This will help your tow vehicle stay more level and tow more efficiently.

Just find out the weight of the boat and trailer…add in about 100 lbs for fuel and stuff you’ll have on board…then start looking at the towing capacity of vehicles and get the one you want and/or can afford. And remember…get the right class towing package installed for the job!

Just don’t think about a diesel engine! Especially with diesel fuel now approaching $4.25 nationwide! Save here and put the fuel into the boat for pleasure!
