Depends on the deal, but I would definately stay in Texas, don't want to have to mess with title transfer.

title transfer isn't hard. just print out the forms off the tpwd website and make sure they sign them. we bought ours north of ok city. no problem transferring titles.

There really no reason to go too far, unless it's for a "specific" boat. There are plenty of good dealerships in the areas on you display.

I had on customer that went to Indiana to get a Loaded Ranger and another to New York for a pilot house Parker. Both are very pleased. I had one two years ago delivered from Virginia that I bought on E=bay and another from California. So.....I guess, coast to coast and border to border, as long as you do your homework.... A couple of years ago I sold two 150 suzuki motors to a guy in Bolivia. He came to the U.S.A. and rented a truck. Transported the motors to Florida and shipped them to Bolivia. So......

Like Mike said do your homework. I have bought boats from Miami, Shreveport and Louisville.

Having had a bad experience in Port Isabel with a failing dealership just be careful-make sure they are a going concern and not about to take bankruptcy. What seemed like a good deal wasn't after all.......

Like Mike said do your homework. Last two I bought were both 1600 mile round trips. Be prepared though. Sometimes seller AND pictures don't tell tha whole story.........Been there too.
