How to properly measure your boat
The foundation of a smooth and secure boat transport process lies in precise measurements. Our boat transport service places great emphasis on the significance of accurate measurements, not only for seamless transit but also for selecting the most suitable transport equipment. Delve into our comprehensive guide, where we break down the process of measuring your boat with precision.
Length Matters: Commence by measuring the overall length of your boat, from the tip of the bow to the stern. This measurement should encompass any extensions or additional features like swim platforms or bowsprits. A thorough length measurement ensures that the transport equipment is proportionate, eliminating any protrusions during transit.
Width or Beam Measurement: Assess the width, also known as the beam, by measuring from one side of the hull to the other at the widest point. Include any protruding features, such as rub rails or outriggers, in this measurement. An accurate beam measurement guarantees that the transport trailer accommodates the boat's width comfortably.
Height Considerations: Measure the height of your boat, incorporating any structures like antennas or masts. This measurement is critical for selecting an appropriate route and ensuring clearance under bridges or overhead obstacles during transport.
Weight Measurement: While not a dimensional measure, understanding the weight of your boat is equally vital. Accurate weight information enables us to select the right transport equipment and ensures compliance with legal regulations. Include any additional equipment or gear that will be on board during transport.
Special Features and Protrusions: Pay attention to special features such as bowsprits, swim platforms, or outboard motors that extend beyond the standard hull dimensions. These features may impact the transport process, and their measurements contribute to a more precise transport plan.
Our team of experts stands ready to guide you through the measurement process, offering valuable tips and insights to guarantee accuracy. Recognizing the uniqueness of every boat, our commitment to personalized service extends to assisting you in obtaining the most precise measurements for your vessel.
Preparing your boat for the journey
For a smooth and safe shipping experience, careful planning must be done before your boat takes sail with our transport service. Our commitment to the security of your boat is demonstrated by the assistance we offer with the necessary procedures to get your boat ready for transportation:
- Secure Loose Items
Eliminate any loose items inside and on the deck of the boat. Secure hatches, windows, and doors to prevent potential damage during transit, reducing the risk of shifting or damage during loading and unloading.
- Disconnect Batteries
To prevent battery drain and ensure safety, disconnect the batteries. This minimizes the risk of electrical issues during transport, and our team can provide guidance on the best practices for battery disconnection based on your boat's make and model.
- Check for Leaks and Repairs
Thoroughly inspect your boat for existing leaks or areas that may need repairs. Addressing these concerns before transport maintains the vessel's integrity and prevents further damage during transit.
- Remove or Secure External Equipment
If your boat has external equipment like antennas, outriggers, or additional fixtures, consider removing or securing them. This precautionary step prevents damage and ensures a smoother loading and unloading process.
- Empty Fuel Tanks and Water Systems
For safety and compliance with transport regulations, empty fuel tanks and water systems. This reduces the overall weight of the boat during transport and eliminates the risk of leaks.
- Documentation and Permits
Ensure that all necessary documentation, permits, and licenses are in order. Our team assists you in navigating the regulatory requirements for transporting your boat, ensuring a hassle-free journey.
Our expert guidance and comprehensive checklist empower you to actively participate in preparing your boat for transport. By following these steps, you contribute to a secure and efficient shipping process, setting the stage for a successful voyage.
