I found it cheaper to drive
I found it cheaper to drive to brissy and tow my galeforce back than it was to truck it. You may find the same

jeez mate, I hate to say it
jeez mate, I hate to say it but I think you are going to have a serious problem trucking an overwidth boat from Qland to here.
The problem being that the truck can only travel daylight hours. 5000km instead of 2 1/2 days with 2 drivers becomes a week and probably still 2 drivers, and other customers dont want their gear to take a week.
In all honesty Id estimate much the same as sea freight from the US-$10K?
An acquantance bought a American boat from Qland on Ebay-luckily the vendor was understanding and let him out of the deal due to the cost. He didnt say how much but it was "prohibitive".
two options only really-drive over yourself, or seafreight.
Rail-may have a wider than 2.5m option but im not sure. Google hasnt come up with anything for me on rail max width.
Give a man a mask, and he'll show you his true face...
The older you get the more you realize that no one has a f++king clue what they're doing.
Everyone's just winging it.

You Electricians make too much money
I suppose though it would be $1000 + on juice and 6/7 days back and forth doing it yourself ...lost wages etc...nice boat throw us some pics

cant complain about that
cant complain about that price. will it be insured for any dammage tho. i know some freight mobs cut costs by not insuring some goods.
if all is goo why not let others know as it has been mentioned on here a fair bit over the time
