My apology to Doug T. for not getting this in sooner. On travel for 10 days. My first time I used this service. As nervous and concerned about the process and getting my boat here all went away after talking with Doug. His assurance and professionalism put all my concerns to rest. Make him your first choice above all. He kept me informed all the way and gave me some great insight. Professional all the way. Should I ever need to ship another boat Doug you are my first and only choice. Thanks!

No Detailed Feedback Available The contract stated the boat would be delivered before April 9th and it showed up May 27th. Doug the owner told me many times the boat was leaving when in fact he was lying. We hired an attorney who sent a letter demanding the boat be delivered or he would contact the authorities and that finally worked. When the boat arrived my $2,500.00 Lowrance GPS was stolen out of the boat which State Farm is working on right now. Doug is a smooth talker but no truth in what he says. BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Response from saline02:
The customer agreed to end of April delivery.Yes,we were late due to medical reasons.His marina prep'd the boat,we did not see or handle the GPS.It was to have been put in the cabin by his marina.We didn't see it placed there.We tried to get another truck to cover the load,but @$2950 for 1760miles,no takers.I an sorry for the delay & loss of GPS,however the boat sat at his marina in Pompano before it was picked-up.We are not responsible for his GPS.

I'd highly recommend using this boat transporter. Besides being a great, genuine and honest guy to work with a huge amount of experience - he treated my boat like it was his own. Right from the beginning of the bidding process he was timely and informative in his responses and this carried through in the transportation and delivery of my boat. Once on site he very clearly knew what he was doing, lifting, loading and getting my wooden boat safely in situ. I'd definitely use him again.
Response from saline02:
A great customer to work with and I hope they enjoy many hours on their boat. Thank you Doug/Brian

A scheduling conflict arose that could not be resolved Was held up on a permit for NY City for the oversized boat coming onto L. Island, sorry if shipper misunderstood but no lies were told. Second, the marina was closed thursday and could not load till friday, I spoke with the Shipper wednesday night and informed him of this. Last, no scams here sir, I could not meet your schedule but tried to help you. The person the called the shipper i had no knowledge of, my intentions were for the broker to contact you directly.

No Detailed Feedback Available The Service Provider did not show up at agreed upon date and time the shipper called me the morning after he was scheduled to pick up my boat and said that he wasn't able to get permits so couldn't get my boat. this was clearly a lie, because you don't need permits to trailer a boat. he then had "a friend" call me and offer to get the boat for $500 more than the agreed upon rate. sounds like a bait and switch scam using uship.

No Detailed Feedback Available The Service Provider did not show up at agreed upon date and time Dough and his son not been able to work together to make any business together and they mixing their business with personal dispute. They make us to set up our boat to ship four times for all different reasons. They are waiting for another boat to take, truck broke down, son broke the hand, and finally father not able to make it because of his age. Very unprofessional, and very unpolite son. Hanging up on me when I was questioning about his reason not to be there in time.

Response from saline02:
The pick-up was delayed 1 day due to the boat being shrink-wrap'd. Looks like he got a lower price off the uShip network and canceled.
