Services & rates

Wholesale. Retail. Or just the driver.

Three ways to put Jim to work, priced by the mile and quoted firm before a wheel turns.

New pontoon boats staged for delivery at a dealer yard

For dealers & manufacturers

Wholesale boat transport

Factory to showroom. Showroom to customer. Lot to lot before a big weekend. Jim has spent years hauling brand-new pontoons for manufacturers, and he treats a sold boat like it is already the customer's.

  • Scheduled lanes and on-call overflow capacity
  • GPS mileage logs that drop straight into your billing
  • Condition photos at pickup and delivery, every unit
  • One dependable point of contact, not a broker board

For boat owners

Personal boat delivery

Bought your dream boat out of state? Sold yours to a buyer across the country? Jim picks it up, straps it down like it is his own Baja, and hands it off with photos to prove the condition on both ends.

  • Door to door, ramp to ramp, or dealer to driveway
  • Text updates in transit; you always know where your boat is
  • Insured in tow, with the COI shared before pickup
  • Flexible timing around closings, surveys, and sea trials

For fleets with their own equipment

Driver-only hot shots

Some manufacturers want their own trucks and trailers on the road and just need a pro in the seat. That is how Jim runs today for pontoon builders: their equipment, his discipline, billed clean by the mile or by the day.

  • Operates your truck and trailer under your program
  • Military-grade punctuality and paperwork discipline
  • Mileage tracked per run for painless reconciliation
  • Day-rate or per-mile billing, whichever fits your books

Boats & equipment

If it rides a trailer, Jim can move it

Pontoons Tritoons Bowriders Center consoles Bass boats Performance hulls PWC Bare trailers

Bunk, roller, and pontoon-specific trailers. Boats to 34 feet handled routinely (Jim daily-drives a 34-foot Baja, so big hulls do not scare him). Bigger than that? Ask; he will tell you straight if it needs a different rig.
