Shipping Hull Via Greyhound

[hydrostyler]

and that ur hull may bite people in transit so u have to carry extra liability insurance.....

Johnny, my ski could tell you were a kawi guy by the sound of tools jingling in your pockets. Of course you were gonna get bit. Haha

I found a 12 pack of 5 foot pool noodles and industrial saran wrap for less than $50 shipped on amazon. Do you think you can completely protect a ski with 12 pool noodles saran wrapped around a hull?

Or is it still faith in humanity?

its always fath in humanity unless u crate it perfectly. but i think if there are proper designated handles and the pools noodles id try it. but thats just me. handles i think are the biggest key to all of this.

I would be nervous as hell using greyhound. I used UShip and still pulled my hull out of the back of a dude's van just wrapped in a simple balnket. Greyhound wont insure the value of the hull, and let's assume 99% of the time shipments go right (if you add in all the small box stuff), but how many of that 1% that goes bad is weird stuff wrapped in pool noodles, old blankets and saran wrap? Your odds on that shipment of something going wrong are higher than normal. I wouldn't risk it after spending all that money. There's a reason builders send their hulls out in crates or those 1 inch thick cardboard crate deals like rickter uses. They learned their lesson.

Greyhound lost a 100lb large box I was shipping not to long ago. Needless to say that was the last and only time I did business with them

My fear would be that it wouldn't fit on one of the bus transfers, so it would be left in a bus station somewhere, until the next bus goes out.
