I am in the process of purchasing an xb2003 in Illinois, and need to have it shipped, (boat and trailer) to Oregon, or at least within a days drive. Does anyone have any contacts or ideas about doing that. Thank you in advance for any ideas or advise you may have to offer.

I am doing the same thing right now. Virginia (Sanderson marine) to washington state. Around 2700 miles. I got bids on Uship.com. Also talk to Lou. You need to decide on how you want it shipped. A straight tow away service is cheapest but you risk damage during transport. The enclosed trailer is preferred but it is double the cost. I went straight tow away and had mulitple bidders in the $2100 range for my trip.

I wish I could remember who did mine, but it cost around 1700 to get mine from Virginia to Washington back in 09.
