into the worst weather ever.
Hatches latched and even taped closed.
Cabin doors need to be secured the same way as above.
Canvas tops, seat cushions need to be removed and stowed below during
your boat transport.
Having your boat transported with a trailer?
When transporting your boat with your
trailer on ours be sure your the bunks are properly adjusted and not
rotted. the last thing you want is a trailer bunk to break with a thousand
miles togo.
Boat windshields an wind screens
These items should be removed. We cannot be responsible
for wind damage during your boat transport. Boats are built to go forward
if the boat is loaded backwards for transport the wind can blow out
windshields and wind screens.

a little deferent preparation.
Transporting sail boats with cradles is costly

can get the cradle built close to or at the port this can make the difference
between a escort car or not this saves you around $1.20 a mile in many
cases ask your boat transport specialist.

to be rapped either in carpet, shrink rap or some type of packing rap
