A while back there was a thread on shipping boats. I just picked up a new boat this morning. The boat arrived via Yellow Frieght. It was triple wrapped in white packing wrap, not bubble wrap but the thin bendable white foam. The bow and stern had an extra 2 layers of wrap. Each layer was individually taped, it took quite a while to free the boat. On the outside were a couple of fragile and top load only stickers. I believe it was $283 to ship it from california to massachusetts. I picked it up at the truck terminal - saving some delivery charges. The boat also came with a cover. I haven't closely examined the cover but it's got a full length zipper The outer layer is a woven silver fabric with about 1/2 centimeter wide "strips" making up the weave. The full length zipper cover is sooo much nicer to put on than the terry cloth sock style cover I have on my old surf ski.
