This is the largest boat transported by Hays Marine Transport to date. This Coast Guard Boat was almost 50 ft long, 17.9 wide and 17.11 loaded in height. She weighed 66,000 lbs. This boat was transported from Louisiana to California. The entire boat transport took three weeks including one week of route surveys and permiting. With a vessel of this size, logistics were everything and the one week of porvisional work to get permits really paid off as once we got rolling we rarly had to stop for any issues that arose.

A few months ago we transported this Yacht from California to Washington state. This boat had been in the family since new, it was built in 1933. It was bought by a investment Corp. to restore and use as a cruise Yacht. She was 48 ft long and weighed 33,000 lbs. We took great care in her loading due to her construction of wood. Her builer, Stevens Yacht Corp. built her to very high standings and a testimony to both her excellent construction and the care and equiptment used in her transport she took on very little water when it went back into the water after a 5 day trip north. With the equiptment we use in our boat transport business, this kind of transport was right up our allie as we stretched the trailer out as long as we could to keep her keel in perfect alignment while we moved her.

I know houseboats are a breed of there own but I thought I would include this post on transporting houseboats in the Powerboat Transport section. We loaded this 47 Boatell Houseboat in Grand Rivers Kentucky yesterday after the flood waters went down a bit. She is going to Florida to be a second residence for a retired gentleman. This houseboat was 47 feet long over thirteen feet wide and she loaded out at 14 feet tall. With the 53 foot stretch trailer stretched out we were able to loaded her very low which kept the costs involved in transporting this boat as low as possible. We get involved in transporting large oversize boats, yachts, powerboats and sailboats quite often due to the specialized equpment we use.
