I owned a Catalina 27 in Seattle and work transferred me to Atlanta. I checked on shipping my boat from Seattle and the quote was $2600. You might want to look around for a Catalina 27 and ship it in. And stay away from Snug Harbor Boats. They tried to sell me a Catalina 30 that had a real wet deck and saying it was not an issue and also claiming it was not wet. I knew more about the boats then the sale people there.
