Shipping Hobie mast

Trying to ship a mast from Chicago area to San Francisco. Anybody have a solution besides lots of $$$ to a shipper? Was going to remove the comptip but with the glue used I have my doubts if that can be done.

Thanks in advance.

Try YRC feight.com for a quote if you know a business you can ship from its is cheaper than residential pick up and must be package right with bubble wrap cardboard tube ,labels

It would probably be cheaper to buy a mast or even a whole parts boat in SF than it would be to ship a mast.

But if you have to maybe uship.com is a starting point.

I have to agree finding a local parts boat would be cheaper than shipping.

Regarding removal of the CompTip, it can be done. You need to heat the mast up quite a bit. The epoxy releases a little bit. Then you need to apply a pulling force in opposite direction. Here is video of CompTip removal on a Hobie 21SE mast.

What size mast are you looking for?

Bob I'd go local but if you can't uShip is great for consumers. You'd be amazed what guys will work for. I tried my hand at hauling freight and guys work so cheap I couldn't make it worth my while though there. Request a bids for a mast, give em location, dimensions and weight and see what you get. There's a ton of major league shippers on the west coast, you could get lucky and find a guy will to ship for gas money to get back to California that's parked in the Chicago area.
