How to Prepare Your Boat for Shipping: Anchors Aweigh in Confidence
A smooth voyage starts with proper preparation. Follow these tips to ensure your boat is shipshape and ready for transport:
- Clear out personal belongings, electronics, and valuables – think of it as a fresh start for your boat.
- Secure all loose items, like hatches, doors, and windows, to prevent any mishaps during the trip.
- Drain fuel and water tanks, and disconnect batteries – safety first, always.
- Inspect your boat for pre-existing damage and take photos for future reference – a picture is worth a thousand words.
Before shipping, it's crucial to accurately measure your boat. Be sure to measure its length, width, and height, including any protrusions such as antennas, radar equipment, or propellers. To measure the height, start from the keel and go up to the highest non-removable part of your boat. For width, measure the beam at its widest point. For length, measure from the tip of the bow to the end of the stern, including any swim platforms or fixed extensions. Precise measurements will help you sail through the cost estimation process with ease.
