Hello Dino, I am planning to leave Soller for Barcelona early in the week beginning 14th May, when are planning ?

Oh yes, I understand ;)

Thank you all for your help.

Thank you very much Portofino, your information does make the buying process much clearer to me.

Good morning all, I am considering the purchase of a 38' motor boat currently located in Reggio Calabria, Southern Italy. What is the normal process used to buy such a boat which is currently owned / registered in Italy. I would register this boat on SSR, and take it to Greece upon...

Please check the beam of this boat before you purchase, it is possibly 9' 6" as the US spec. making it too wide to tow legally here. I have the 2450 Command Bridge, with 8' beam which I do tow here. Engine wise, I have change from V8 petrol to Isuzu diesel.

I find it interesting that the Jeep Grand Cherokee has not been mentioned here. My boat and trailer only just manages to weigh below 3500kg, the earlier 4.7 V8 model I have tows very well, also my later 3.0 GRD ( Mercedes version) tows the boat well, but does not quite match the V8. I am...

Very well said P , I hope you are all well, Kind regards.

There is much more about this possible purchase on a more local UK boating forum !
