Not sure if you've found a way to ship the hull yet...but when I needed to move a whole Tornado from RI to Los Angeles, Vanguard Sailing boats in RI stepped in and put the dismantled boat in one of their 18 wheeler trucks for a regular delivery run of their dinghies to the west coast. Cost me $700 total for the whole boat and I got it in about a week...right to my front door.
