In 2016 I shipped a used 150 Etec. Had the local dealer I used to verify compression/hours work with shipping company they had relationship with. They boxed it correctly as well. I want to say it was just shy of $600 from South Carolina to Houston Tx. Key was it was business to business shipping since I had it go to my TX shop where boat was.

We loved that motor! Loved the boat too but got too small for growing family so sold it last year and now have a 2015 Freedom 225 with a 300 Yamaha. Unfortunately don’t know the shipping company.

Thanks for the input
I’ve been trying to get quotes online and no real traction, guess I’m gonna have to work the phone

Hello Scot Smith, If you don't transport boat till now then i would also like to add my recommendation because couple of week back i also shipped my boat from florida with the help Citizenshipper Haulers. And it was great experience with them.

1 important i would like to add is that You will be required to pay for tolls when transporting boats across state lines, therefore essential to conduct research on the shipping route and to inform the shippers as well.
Hope it help

Scot: I use a one-man company called Tony Stewart (561.253.4007). I've been using him for twelve years.

If I understand it, you only need engines shipped. If they are crated, could they go in the bed of an F350 while Tony moves a boat north from FL? You would likely get a better price on a double-haul like that.

Tony is licensed and insured. He has always taken good care of my boat.
