Not sure of the question..???

I had 2 quotes from brisbane to burnie tas...as stated above??

No, I have not purchased the ducky, very keen, but will have to weigh up the cost of transport. I suppose I could always drive up there, But it would be very daunting for me..

Sorry matey.
I misread. I thought the 1st quote was to Melbourne and the full stop was for the abbreviation of Melbourne but it was for the abbreviation and end of sentence.
Dopey me.

Hey,

Another vote for DJ.

I use them on a regular basis, and they do a good job.

Chrissy will look after you.

If it has got one hull or 3 then QLD's would pay to get it out of the state wouldn't they as it is cat country! Excepyt when you go too far north and they stop working!!


If it is on a trailer and not too tall talk/ wide to the guys who move caravans, mobile homes for a living. They are use to overwidth stuff as well and are regularly doing runs empty coming in different directions.

If it isn't on a trailer then the specialist boat movers are the way to go and have correct insurances.

If you can get it strapped on to a 20- 40 foot skel container the transpot companies will do it cheaper as it is so easy to load or seldf loader and can go on any truck.

Needless to say a operator who doesn't understand how to strap trailers down can easily wreck a boat as their tray flexes so don't let just anyone near it. If you don't know someone to supervise the loading it would well be worth the flight up. Fly back with all teh electronics so they don't go missing.

If you can get it shringh wrapped or well tarped as teh crap they collect is terrible and have seen some full to the brim with water after heavy rain- funny only because it wan't mine.
