Transport Company Recommendation

Transport company says height needs to be 13' or less. Looks like the top is coming off.

I've had 370's and a 460DA transported multiple times and never had to take the arch down.
Be sure your transport company has a trailer that can accomodate transporting without taking the top off.
 
I think the issue here is finding a hauler that will wet load/unload and handle the height. We hauled right at 15’ from Pensacola Beach to Lake Lanier, but had travel lifts on both ends. My hauler would not back his trailer into the water. I had one hauler tell me he could not haul over 14’. I asked the guy we picked how he could do it and he said it was only a matter of getting the right permits. He had a permit company that he used. He called them and told him he needed to go from point A to point B and they would get with the states and get the routes. Car in front had an atenna on the front bumper set 6” above the height on the trailer. If the antenna touched, they stopped to check things out.

I have lifts set up on both ends. Issue seems to be the height. I didnt think a 370 express was a tall boat.
 
One hauler that I used many years ago that would submerge their trailer is Horsepower Unlimited out of the Charlotte area - 704-483-0112.
They're a bit of a PITA to deal with but may work for you if they'll still wet load and unload
I don't believe that CandJ will submerge their trailer & I don't blame them

Yes the top did come off, but Rays Marine had a lift on the tractor. They unbolted it, disconnected the
radar, gps etc. and sat it on the crate. When they got the boat here they reconnected the electronics,
bolted it back up and caulked with a perfect line. They do an outstanding job

Just used Rays Marine to ship a 420 Sedan Bridge - they did a great job!
 
Call CandJ. Jim will talk to you about options. His trailers will keep the height lower than anyone's. For the price of taking the top off and then assembling it again, you may want to pass on this purchase or wait until someone can haul it right.
