TRANSPORT BOAT - Misdirection - 02-25-2019
Here is an old quote from Lauderdale to Maryland for a 42' open. About 1,000 miles, just over ,$9k, and that was 5 years ago.
If you hire a captain, your looking at 10 days in the canal alone. Depending upon where in Michigan, it could take a while and that's once everything thaws out up there by Buffalo.
Maybe go-to uship and request a quote.
Good Luck.
EDITED to say 42' open, not 4200.

Give brinks trucking in Holland mi a call. They move all of tiaras factory boats and really know their stuff. You would need to strip the hardtop, pull props, shrink wrap and sling onto trailer but my guess is it will be cheaper than running on its own bottom. It's probably a good 400 miles just from Detroit to luddington by water. By the time you pay fuel, captain, marina charges, food, wear and tear it's going to add up. Throw in a mechanical and the price just went even higher. misdirection is probably close. I would have guessed $10-12k trucking
