What's the best way to pack a boat motor for shipping?

Question

I'm shipping an old collectible boat motor from CA to NY. What is the best way to ship it so that it is protected~ but also without spending tons?

Answer 1

In an upright position, the same way new ones are sent.

Go to an outboard dealership and get a box the right size for your motor, although it will be rather large, it will protect the motor.
