The Exchange rate has moved very favourably for UK purchasing power -
at least for most things ... effective rate of $1.98 to the pound.

Yet UK dealer prices are not reflecting this ... when I asked my
dealer he said "we buy in pounds" so cost is the same ... which I find
strange, if they buy a US product from a US company in the US .. then
they would pay in USD.

Unfortunately the price in the UK is a complete over charge ....
for example an 1800 SR3 here works out at $38,000 for a 4.3 190hp.
The US guys would pay only ... $23,700
With the favourable exchange rate we should be paying LESS than that,
even allowing a transport and import tax.

Yet we pay almost 60% more instead of what should be 40% less!

A question for any UK owners - have any of you imported your own
boat ? or looked at doing this ?

Or any US dealers - have you exported one to UK?

Maybe buying a new or used (less than yr old) boat and importing it
would work out a lot cheaper.
