Check your cradle or trailer to ensure that everything is properly tightened. If you need professional cradling or a trailer inform Hermes Intl Movers and we will do our best to connect you with the proper professionals.
Be exact in your dimensions. If you give us wrong dimensions, we give you wrong prices.
- LENGTH: When measuring the length, please provide the maximum possible length. Include bow pulpits and swim platforms if any or even outboard motor brackets. If the boat sits on a trailer, then include the distance from the beginning of the trailer.
- HEIGHT: The height is measured by taking the highest point in the boat and bottom of the keel. A lot of times roads have a maximum height of 13 feet and 6 inches or even lower. We need to know exact and true dimensions to avoid costly problems that might arise in the process.
- BEAM: Measure the beam by the measuring your boat at the widest possible point including any attached accessories.
