Boat transport company recommendations. East to West.
Submitted by pakulacockroach on Fri, 2015-01-09 14:43
Hi guys, I know this has been brought up a few times already. I have searched this site for info on boat transport & a lot of it is a bit dated so I am looking for recommendations for a reliable well priced company to transport a 6m ally boat from N.S.W. to Perth. Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Openica transport
Hey mate,
I've just purchased a 2nd hand boat from Barcrusher. They use a company called Openica to transport all their boats so I gave them a call and they were by far the cheapest. Maybe call them and mension that you spoke to Barcrusher and they suggested calling for a quote. I'm still undecided if I will use them or just drive over and pick the boat up myself.
Hope this helps, Kuzi.

If it is under 20ft what
If it is under 20ft what about a container and the train?
Was talking to removalists in town the other week and they hire shipping containers for $6 day and can rail a full container to Melbourne for $600. Just need someone to pack it properly and deliver it at the port, they said they have done cars before.
These removalist must be making a killing as they would charge the client $10k to pack and move them. They subcontract two guys in town with a truck to pack it and truck the container to rail. Then in Vic they subcontract someone to pick it up and deliver it. The subcontracters own their own trucks and pay the insurance!!
