Guest B@K Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Check the Yellow Pages under 'Boat & Yacht Transport Services'P 241 in the Adelaide 2010 edition.May give you a chance to compare.Most QLD dealerships advertise 'Deliver any where in Australia' - but not very useful info if you are buying privately :S Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wadey 4 Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 are you intending on buying from a dealer or private? Only reason i ask is a mate was wanting to buy from interstate and he couldnt find a dealer that would stand by there warranty due to the fact that he was going to be taking the boat back to SA. They were saying that if any thing should happen to the hull or boat they wouldnt be fitting the bill to bring it back to be fixed. not sure in your case but just ask if about warranty and who pays for what if your buying from a dealer.

Red1396235487 0 Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Gday Mate,Give Southern Cross Boat Transport a ring, often see them getting around with some nice loads. They do alot of work across the West to Perth but I'm sure they will do a load from Brisbane for you. They are based here in Adelaide as well.http://www.boattransport.com.au/Cheers, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Totes 48 Posted March 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Boat is being purchased privately, cheers for the input and more input is greatly appreciated Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Piranha 76 Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Around a year ago I got my 3m boat on trailer delivered from brisbane to bordertown for $800 by Johns marine Transport who are based in Adelaide and supply Quintrex/stacer among others to the adelaide and melbourne markets, they are insured freighters who where great to deal with and the best price I found by a long way (some other quotes where 3k and over:blink: )I highly recommend them, they kept me well informed of what was happening every step of the way and the truck driver on delivery even took the time to help me secure the boat on the trailer once hooked up to my car.cheers:) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
moose 1 Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 I would go with Johns Marine Transport I used to work for him and his gear is good and will do a good price phone number 0882424000 and speak with Robert Johns he owns the show.
