How to Measure Your Boat for Transport
To get off on the right foot, make sure you provide the transport service with precise dimensions of your vessel. Here’s how you can size up your boat:
- Length: Measure straight from the front tip of the bow all the way to the very end of the stern. Don’t forget to include any extensions or swim platforms that aren’t removable—everything counts.
- Height: Measure from the lowest point of the keel (bottom of the hull) up to the highest fixed point on your boat. Leave off anything that can be detached, like removable antennas or radar arches, but keep in mind anything that’s permanently attached.
- Width (Beam): This one is simply the widest point across your boat, typically measured from edge to edge at the beam. Be sure to include any rub-rails, as these add to the overall width.
Providing these details as accurately as possible sets the stage for a smoother shipping process.
