look under licensing the boat in canada.

Call CCRA or check the Canadian Coastguard web site. You will have to pay:
- GST
- PST
- No duty since the boat was built in the U.S.

Now Here's the funny one. If you don't bring the boat into Canada you
don't have to pay GST or PST but you can't register your boat in Canada.
Since I'm not planning to bring my boat back, I don't know how I'm going
to register it.

I'm a Canadian but I may not be able to fly a Canadian Flag on my boat.

Hi All,

I am very interested in getting my hands on a 41' Morgan Out Island,
and I would like to know how difficult/expensive/frustrating it will
be to buy a boat in Florida, and sail it up to Georgian Bay.

I have checked the Canada Customs site, but didn't find anything
helpful in regards to taxes, fees, etc.

I know that I can't be the first person to have attempted this, but I
have searched high and low on the 'net for messages/pages/posts about
personal experiences, and have come up empty handed.

I would like to hear from sailors who have jumped through the
requisite hoops to bring a saiboat into Canada.

Note - The boat would be 1974 - 1980, and approx $60,000 US, if this
helps
