"Perth to Brisbane is a lot cheaper. Back loads for empty trucks. However, if it is over 3.5m wide, there are escorts involved, and that is expensive".
Where do I start, who do I contact regarding this? 
Has anyone tried coastal shipping eg.

Save yourself the freight costs and other out of pocket expenses , then put them towards a boat more local to you, it will possibly be a better outcome.

Coastal shipping would have to be much cheaper

Sound advice. Plus less worrying and stress which I'm quite partial to

Ramona, you really can't go past the Deco brushes from Aldi. Despite their cheap price they do not shed their bristles, this
became evident when we used them to paint our boat with Perfection twin pack paint.
I have tried them Sam and they are not bad but I think the DIY range of brushes made by Monarch and sold at Bunnies are much better quality and value. Finer bristles and many more of them per brush. You can feel the difference with your fingers.
Monarch's budget line and about a third the price of their regular brushes.
Hi,
I'm in the selling of trucks business and when I need a truck to be shipped interstate I use 'Load shift'
It's quite a good site. have a look at it. It's for trucks wanting work to return back to base.
Cheers.
TheSelkie, Obviiusly size will dictate the price, but a few years back I got a quote for 10k Perth to Brisbane. That was for a 32 footer, beam just on 3 meters from memory. I think it was considered a wide load but no escort was going to be required.
I didn't go through with it in the end. So that was just initially enquiry type of info.

Cisco...how would you cope trying to paint a boat on the slip with all the wildlife sticking to the paint ??.
They like blood better than paint so it is not an issue.
