I could drive out and back for less but it would take me quite a bit of time to get out and back. For anyone who shipped did you go through a marina or a separate shipping company?

I know some people have recommended U Ship but I have always used Miles Marine. Good local people who do good work at a fair price. I have heard horror stories about break downs and no insurance with U Ship as well as stories about the transport truck being impounded (with the boat) and held for four months. I am not willing to take that chance to save a few bucks.
I have use Miles Marine for a lot of things over the years and I have always been satisfied. In June 2016 I had them bring a boat from Sarasota, Florida to the lake. Once again, good work at a fair price. When the boat got to NH they did a great job compounding the boat and restoring the finish. There is a reason why all of the local marinas use them. No disappointments.
