    Shipping a powerhead

    Who would I contact to ship a powerhead from Florida to PA? And does anyone know what a dressed out 150 2.0 weighs?

    around 150 lbs. AAA Cooper transport or R+L Carriers are a couple to start with. Around $200-$230 You have to build a wood crate and drill holes in the bottom to mount to the base.

    A dressed 2.5 Drag weighs about 170-175. The 2.0 will be slightly heavier, not including whatever crate/pallet you use to ship it in

    Do as I did and put it out on U-Ship and get a great price.....Then go crazy as it took 3 and a half weeks to get my SLT from Washington to NH!!!!!!! No DON"T DO U-SHIP! Hot Shot is correct and use a recommended carrier. Frank would be perfect if he is heading that way. Gary

    When I shipped power heads in the past the shipper would ask me an approximate weight and I said I dont know prob around 150lbs and they gave me a price and thats what they charged. I never actually weighed it but thats good to know for future. Thanks Eric
