Hi,
Has anyone imported into the UK a Holiday Mansion or Gibson from the USA. I'm aware of the
RCD issue and VAT / duty but are there other, better hidden, problems awaiting me?!
The boat owner I'm currently speaking with has told me to expect to put 2 gallons an hour
into her at 8 knots cruising speed on a 39' x 12' hull. Sound about right (2 x 200hp Volvo,
petrol)?
Has anyone dealt with the 60 / 50Hz issue? A step-down transformer will cost me about?
With regard to the RCD should I get her tested for group C or D? Will this choice effect my
insurance cost? Insurance expensive for a liveaboard on the Thames, in a secure marina?
She is called a 'coastal cruiser'. Will it be possible to take a boat like this acrosss to
France or Germany and travel the canals? Is it possible to hire a captain for the trip
across?
Thanks very much, bye.
