Hi Todd,

You can ship via truck from NJ to FL or pay to have it run down the coast which is very costly. Dpemds on size. If your doing Dockwise like we did when we shipped our boat to Costa Rica you will need someone to off load it in Port Everglades area and work with Dockwise to load it via the water.

I still have keep in touch with the guy who did ours....they have to have special security clearence to load and off load there. No not just anyone can do it.

Let me know the size bert. you got and I can start to give you more options and pricing, along with time frame. Also, which shipping company....I might be able to get you better pricing.

Cool. It is a holiday here today but over the week I will try to get some info for you.

I do know.... it will most likely have to be run down the coast to Florida which will get pricey. Diesel is about 4.20 a gal here in NJ. It is just over 1000 miles from NJ to Lauderdale.

As for timing, you are at the tail end of most folks shipping boats north, so you might get a reasonable price trying to catch a truck running south empty that would like to offset some costs.

Dockwise ships out of Newport, RI as well. I would think maybe NYC?

HI Mike

I have used them several times great guys! But, i think this is too big for them. A 37 with a tower or hard top won't clear the bridges.....clearence w/ a hard top is around 14.5 without the trailor and is 13'+ wide. Granted you could always take it off.

Where are you on LBI? I am up in B. Light but building the new boat over in Waretown.

Dug....there RI location used to only do Europe. I will check to see if it changed.
