I agree on both counts with what Bob advises. I used Sealand Industries to bring Alianna home form the USA and the papers you get from the "border broker" are real handy 6 years down the road when I registered my boat and the province came checking for proof of taxes paid.

I used Sealand Industries (I have coordinates) from Chester.....you will be hard pressed to hire a better professional to transport your boat. If he is already in the area of your boat, you might obtain a better price than him simply going to get it. 2. Some, maybe all, truckers will insist you hire a 'border broker'....I did, it cost me $125....he took care of all of the paper work and taxes at the border.....have coordinates on this as well.
