Paul,
I shipped a boat a bit smaller than an EC12 once. What I did was construct a box out of 10 mm plywood. The boat was placed on a well padded cradle that was attached to the bottom of the box with screws. The boat was retained in the cradle by bungee cords. The rig was placed on top of thwarts placed clear of and above the boat, screwed to the sides. The box was closed with a plywood lead, held in place also by screws. The whole thing was bullet proof and the boat arrived safe and sound.
