Import a boat.
Hi. Can anyone comment of the idea of shipping a used boat from USA to UK? Been looking for a cheap Bayliner type boat, around 26 footer, and to say I was shocked at prices in UK is putting it mildly. Looked in Glasgow a few days ago, a dealer with 26 foot, 1990 bayliner, scruffy condition and asking £17000 without a trailer. Just had a look on ebay.com and seen identical boat, much cleaner looking condition for 12,500 US dollars, a little over £7000. Just wondering if it would be worth the trouble, and apart from shipping costs, what other costs would be involved, like the tax man. -- Regards Smokin..o0O "reply to" address is valid |

Import a boat.
it will cost about £5K to ship across, there should be no import TAX on a
second hand boat - check HM Customs & Excise! Try looking at Belgium/Holland etc first "Smokin..o0O" wrote in message ... Hi. Can anyone comment of the idea of shipping a used boat from USA to UK?
