If the trip has to be 100% in
Canada then that might be the reason. Check with these folks
http://www.lockviewmarina.com/ to see what they say. I'm not sure they can come into
Canada though. You don't say what price was shocking but a move like this in my experience will be more than $5K but probably closer to $10K. Then you have travel
lift costs at both ends and a lot of time to de-rig and re-rig the
boat. Be wary of under insured
cheap trucking offers. There are stories about transport where
mast and
boat get separated to save
money and a long wait for all the bits to finally arrive at the
destination. When we trucked across country we made sure everything shipped together and direct. It costs a bit more but nothing was
lost.
