It is loaded now and measures 110 feet overall in length bumper to transom! With a beam of 15.8 wide and loaded out at a little over 14 feet tall it will be quite the job to get to Illinois.

    The new Canal Boat for Canal Corridor Association is loaded on the trailer and providing the permits are in, will be ready to transport on Monday. Loaded the truck and the canal boat are 110 feet long. It has been a big issue getting permits for this transport. This boat is 15.8 wide, and coupled with the overall length it is a logistical nightmare. This boat is loaded on a Waltron 53 foot trailer that is stretched out a full additional 16 feet.

For those of you who have not been following this epic story this canal boat was built by Scarano Boat Building in Albany New York. They specialize in high quality aluminum boats in both power and sail configurations. Check out their website as it is very interesting to see what a quality shop can do in aluminum these days! www.scaranoboat.com

As you can see by the pictures of this large oversize boat it is going to be quite a job transporting this yacht. Finding places to park at night will be of major concern. We are restricted to daylight hours to transport this boat to La Salle Illinois.

The boat hauling industry is boom town right now as everyone is wanting their boats hauled now. Currently we are hauling a mason sailboat from Connecticut to California, a Ocean Alexander from Oregon to Florida and a Chris Craft from Ohio to Florida. We have trucks in transit to haul a Riva from Florida to New Jersey, and another Florida boat going from Miami to Ohio. This boat being hauled is a Sunseeker.

We are enjoying a tight schedule as far as hauling boats is concerned but it is tough to stay on schedule. I wish customers would understand that hauling boats is not a science. Things happen and your schedule can become a mess in a heartbeat!! We wish all our fellow boat haulers a terrific season and safe driving.

This blog entry is about boat transport and things to think about prior to and during preparation of your boat for transport.

The first thing that needs to addressed to accurately get a quote from a boat transporter is get the correct measurements. We need the overall height and beam. On larger boats the weight becomes a factor. The boat measurements are needed for factoring which boat transport trailer is dispatched for your boat transport. It is also needed for the assessment if a escort is needed for either the height or the beam.

Boat transporters need to have a marina that has the capability to load a boat properly. That means a travel lift or a crane. It also should have the personnel to disassemble and prep a boat for transport. Being able to maneuver in and get loaded with a boat is of great importance. Being able to easily get into the marina and get out loaded with a large oversize boat is mandatory.

When preparing a boat for transport, the canvas needs to be taken down and put below decks to ensure a safe boat transport. Canvas does not travel well as does not lexan windshields, these need to be removed prior to transporting your boat.

Most times while transporting a boat the dingy will fit somewhere on the trailer or on the boat for transport. It will need to be deflated if it is a inflatable. The outboard motor needs to be removed and stored elsewhere for transport.

When preparing a boat for transport the anchor needs to be stowed or removed. The anchor can possibly come loose in transport or possibly even chafe the gel-coat on the bow of the boat.

All electronics should be removed or firmly secured. Radar domes or television antennas need to be removed as well. Any dash mounted electronic heads need to be stowed below prior to shipping a boat. Flush mount electronic heads can usually be left in place.

Smaller boat are sometimes shipped on their own trailers. When preparing a boat for transport on its own trailer maintenance items need to be addressed. When transporting a boat on its own trailer the brake fluid needs to be topped off. The wheel bearings need to be up to speed, meaning the grease should be fresh and in good serviceable order to protect the axles from burning up.

Hays Marine Transport specializes in transporting yachts, sailboats, powerboats and trailerable boats on their own trailers. Any questions not covered in this page can be addresses by calling 360 414 8888 Additionaly if you google our company there is a wealth of info in our website.
