Their customer service is the best I have ever seen. I am hoping to have the same person from Tomco who commissioned the boat when we bought it and it arrived on the east coast to be the one who dismantles it.

I'm hoping to find a way to have it trucked without needing to remove the flybridge, and avoid all the associated headaches. I've been told this is theoretically possible, but very costly, and probably not practical for a cross-country trip.

Dudley and Associated have both been recommended to me, but, given my past experiences with having a boat trucked (which were not always positive, though that was another outfit that caused me problems), I greatly appreciate hearing everyone's thoughts and suggestions here.

Thanks again!
I also should have mentioned that we used Dudley about 6 times without any problems.
