Does anyone have any experience, recommendations or costs for shipping a Cat 25? Denver area to Ashland Oregon.

It would be a boat with trailer.

Thanks,

Jared

Try uship.com. I moved my TR/FK 500 miles on its cradle for $800 and had an excellent experience with the shipper.

You may already know this, but you might look for someone making regular trips between the two regions - who can <i>piggyback</i> your cargo with someone elses, i.e., towing the boat/trailer behind a loaded panel truck - say 6 or 10 wheeler . . .

Good luck!

I used Bo Smith in Mississippi. He's a salvage and shipping company. He was great! He worked around my schedule, picked up when I wanted, and dropped off when I wanted. He had a 35' hydraulic boat trailer. Completely adjustable. He charged me about $1200 for 600 miles. His fees change as gas prices change, but they are about the same right now. He was a LOT cheaper than anyone I contacted and came highly recommended in the Jackson, MS. community. He travels everywhere, so give him a call. Maybe he can be in your area. He hauled my 89 C25 from Jackson to Canyon Lake.

Also, he said to call him if anyone needs parts. Like I said, he runs a boat salvage and can get anything.

I drove to the LA area to get my C25 with my pickup, a Ford diesel, and went thru about 170 gal of fuel to go 1100 miles out and back. Two days out and two days back to Denver area. Just more info for other ideas.
Good Luck.

Since you have a trailer, I would just rent a truck if you have the time.

You might need to be more patient with uship. I've waited a week or more for lower bids. Once I actually had to relist and change my price range before I got the right number.
Your trip looks like @1250 miles. Try asking for a bid of $1000 or less.
Think priceline!!! If no one bites try again. Good luck!
