Professional Center Console Boat Hauling
Center console boats aren’t moved the same way as smaller runabouts or pontoons. Balance, height, and overall length all matter, especially once towers, antennas, or electronics are involved. Professional center console boat hauling starts with knowing how to prep the boat correctly and choosing the right trailer setup for the job. Our specialists handle these moves every day, working with experienced drivers who understand how center consoles ride on the road and how to protect hulls, outboards, and rigging from start to finish.
Boat owners often ask whether long-distance or short-haul transport makes more sense, and the answer depends on timing, route, and boat size. Reliable boat haulers prepare each move based on real conditions. Whether the boat is going across state lines or just a few miles away. The best boat transportation comes from experience, knowing when permits are required, how to avoid low clearances, and how to deliver a center console without harm.
What is a center console?
A center console boat is a style of vessel designed with the helm (steering operation) centrally located on the boat. This layout allows people to maneuver around the entirety of the boat quickly and easily. These boats are very desirable for fishing because they provide enough space to move around the boat and make all areas of the boat easily accessible. A center console is also the perfect boat for family adventures and water sports, making them suitable for both fishing excursions and leisure trips on the water. Center console boats come in a plethora of sizes, from smaller boats meant for close-to-shore use to larger ones that can handle deep sea fishing, and they usually have engines mounted on the outside.
What we will need to know in order to transport a center console:
Upon booking your reservation, our skilled representatives will ask you a series of questions. These questions will help us gather the information needed to safely and efficiently ship your center console. The information we will need you to provide us with is listed below:
- The boat’s dimensions: The center console’s length, beam (width), and weight will determine the cost to ship the center console. It will also inform us of the most proper method to transport the center console.
- The address in which the center console will be picked up and dropped off. The number of miles the boat will be hauled will also contribute to the overall cost to transport a center console.
- When you will need the center console moved. The timeline in which you will need the center console transported is important. We recommend booking the transport weeks to even months in advance in order to ensure that your move happens in a timely fashion.
How to prepare your center console for shipment:
- Before transport, remove and secure any loose items on the vessel, including antennas, radar equipment, exterior electronics, draining tanks, and fishing gear.
- Keep fuel levels at about a quarter tank to minimize weight and empty the bilge.
- Disconnect the battery.
- Document the condition of the center console before it is transported. A bill of lading will be created both before the vessel is picked up and upon delivery to ensure that the center console arrives in the same condition it was in when it was picked up.
- If your center console has a mast, it must be removed and secured prior to transport. We can dispatch a company to assist you if needed.
- Having the center console and its hull detailed before transport is advised. This ensures smoother transport and facilitates easier inspection for any damage.
