Yes. I used www.uship.com . I had good luck with them. I don't remember the cost, but it was reasonable.

If youre buying it there, better make sure they have a title to it.

I will be between Memphis and Nashville on the week of the 11th. leaving on the 20th. If that is anywhere close I can pull it back to Justin.

I bought my previous boat in Tennessee, Im from there. It helps a lot to have the current registration card, that seemed to be what the TPWD wanted the most. I cant recall off hand but I dont believe Tennessee titles boats..I did have the original title but they wanted the registration card. Make sure bill of sale separates price of motor and boat, and trailer is separate bill of sale. Easy process, just read whats needed on the TPWD website. Wheres it located? Ill be up there in June but will be towing my boat.

It is about an hour southeast of Nashville. I am trying to get it here this week but I might get in touch with you if I cant. I could probably get the dealer to meet you somewhere around where you are. Thanks

Back in the day, I towed a buddy's boat from New Jersey to Kansas City for $1000. I wouldn't touch it these days for that.

So far my uship bids have been pretty high. I understand making money but cost plus 200% is not going to get it for me.

Its a long drive and half of it really sucks being on 59. I grew up an hour east-southeast of Nashville and make that drive every summer, I hate it. Youre looking at around 14 hours each way.
