Hi all,
I don't post much(i do read fairly regularly) but had an interesting request at work today about shipping a boat that got me thinking. I work as a logistic broker but have never ran into the situation of shipping a boat or even really considered what was involved with the shipping process. The boat in question is a 32' cruiser from Florida to the midwest. I would assumed most are shipped on lowboys or step decks(at least from what I have seen).
My real question has to do with what equipment is required for stabilization. I know many people on here have shipped boats in the past and I was curious if anyone could shed some light on the process that is involved. The boat is currently located in a marina with a lift so loading it wont be a problem. Any help or thoughts are appreciated!!!
Thanks,
Chris
