Might want to price up
Might want to price up driving over and towing it back. I did it with mine from brissy- heaps cheaper than any freight company. East to west is big $$$, the other way is cheap as.

Try the site sponsor Portsea, they usually do US imports but they can also handle internal AU freight, probably VIA RORO.

If it is overwidth there is really only 2 practical options, drive over or ship RORO.
If not overwidth try any trucking mob?

Load shift
Go to the loadshift website and try your luck. You are under no obligation to accept any price or operator but may give you an idea of cost ,I would make sure the boat is covered by someone's insurance.
As for driving over and getting it, a good idea if you have the time and inclination but factor in lost earnings as well as fuel and wear and tear.
