Some years back we moved our 44 Ocean Alexander from (inland) Lake Travis near Austin, Texas to Lake Michigan. Avoided removal of flybridge by using an escort pole truck and taking a circuitous route. Still had to remove the sunroof and the arch. Expensive....about the same as removing the flybridge.

I was interested in purchasing a 54 in Maryland recently, and spoke with these folks...nice people..family operation.. https://www.facebook.com/39228334097...type=3&theater

They advised that getting boats through the eastern seaboard States was complicated, especially if over the standard height number. I had concluded that bringing it into the Great Lakes via the great loop circuit would have been feasible (one engine was inop). No reason you couldn't do the reverse loop with a boat purchased on the rivers or on the Great Lakes. In fact I'd do the loop in reverse with our current Great Lakes boat if I did it at all. Would be an adventure for you, and wouldn't have to be done all in one year. I might ferry a boat as far as the locks for someone.
