hahahaha good joke, boat from sydney to darwin under 4 grand, i just got a quotes in August from $7000 to $14000 for a 6.2 on a trailer, decided to buy a boat in brisbane instead, transport cost way less, boat didnt arrive in exactly prime condition tho, yard blamed the trucking company and visa versa

good luck.

Fly down Hire a light truck or Thrifty 4x4 with towbar and pay relocating fee for leaving it up here would still be cheaper than $4000-5000 . Will take five days but. Road Trip..........

How big is the boat?
I'm in Newcastle (an hour north of sydney).

If you can't get it cheaper than the $4k you have been quoted, I'll tow it up for you, for $3k. :P
Done the drive before.

Mate I am getting my new boat freighted to Darwin as we speak from Tweed Heads and that was about $2200. I can pass the number onto if you like after it gets here and let you know if I have had any problems with them. I didn't sort it out though, the boat shop did all that for me.
