A few days ago, I posed a question about shipping a boat from Europe. Turns out that it's unlikely to be practical, even though it's very feasible. In short, if you have a multi-million dollar yacht, and money isn't really that much of a consideration for you, it's probably a good way to save your valuable time. If you're like the rest of us, it's probably impractical.
So, the next question is about the idea of buying a boat on one side of the U.S. and wanting to get it to the other side. If I wanted to buy a boat pretty much anywhere east of the Rockies and get it to the PNW, what are the challenges? Is over-the-road shipping for a 40 foot boat something to consider? The only other option seems to be going down through Panama and back up.
