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

I'm just guessing about $3000 to $5000. Not practical for the size of boat and replacement costs. It might make sense for that kind of haul to just trailor it behind a U-Haul truck even if the truck is empty. Two days on a suitable truck one way is probably way cheaper than having it done commercially.
You could save a few bux on the road by sleeping in the boat. Guess you would need to get to Denver though? Even adding airline fare one way it's probably still cheaper to pull it behind rent-a-truck.

I've had a very positive experience moving two sailboats with haulers I found through Uship.com You put in the zip codes, where it is and where it's going. You can lowball your budget range, increasing it until you get some bids. Think priceline! You will be very surprised how low it could be. You'll probably get a guy and his wife in a big dually truck, with another load to pick up the minute they drop your boat off. I moved a 26.5 on my trailer, GA to NH for $1950, and a C-25 on the hauler's trailer from OH to NH for $1700. Be certain to look at each hauler's feed back! I've been lucky enough to find haulers with 100% positive ratings both times. Good Luck! -G
