I read an article on this recently:
Boats has to have a CE certificate to be sold, resold, insured, used (?)

The certification cannot reasonably be done after import bacause,
according to the article, the US manufacturers does not provide the
information
needed.
Many USA manufacturers have a European version of their products which
meets the requirements. You just need to make sure that you get the
correct version with all of the required paperwork. This means that you
will need to deal direct with the manufacturer who might want to sell
only through approved dealers.
If the UK dealer is too expensive it is probably worth shopping
around dealers in other EU countries.
