Like any big move, a great deal of preparation is needed before a boat can be transported. As you might imagine, a boat that has been poorly prepared is more likely to be damaged during transport than a boat that has been properly secured and inspected. When you are preparing your boat for transport, you should batten her down as though you will definitely face the worst possible road and weather conditions. Make sure your boat's exterior is free and clear of any mud, plants or mussels, and the interior should be wiped dry to prevent mold buildup during storage. Below you can find links to guidelines and instructions that will help you prepare your boat for a safe arrival at its destination.
