I have used uship before. I had my boat brought from Arizona to Canada border in Montana. Worked out well.

I used uship to bring a horse trailer from Texas to Great Falls and found an awesome guy from Billings to bring it up, it was a really easy process. Not sure about just in Canada...maybe check with Saskatoon Hotshot, RV haulers or pilot car guys if it can be pulled with a half ton.

Business partner bought a Seaswirl Striper 21 foot center console in Florida over the internet. Had an aluminum trailer for it made and had U Ship pick it up at the boat yard and deliver it to his house in Casa Grande Arizona which was about 2400 MILES. Can't recall the price but I did a quick calculation when he told me and remember I doubted I could have paid for my truck fuel. Turns out the driver was delivering show dogs nearby and that was the money trip.

Worked well and I thought he should have had them bring it right to Vancouver if they could do it that cheap. He apparently was bringing an Escalade from Casa Grande to Vancouver anyway so it all worked out for him.

Keep us posted on what it costs and the end result if you can. I am looking at a boat on the coast that I am thinking about shipping to the east koots if I get it instead of driving.

Are boats way cheaper on the coast? Just wondering why a guy would buy one so far away. Thanks.
