What do you reckon the going rate is ??

I bought from the USA and did well but got $1.98 to the £

You have to get the CE mark done
You have to pay import duty
You have to pay VAT on the boat, shipping and import duty
You have to sort all the 240v stuff

And in the end your CE plate will make it clear it’s an import and detract from value.

Plus a relative of mine did it as I did well, and they dropped his boat en route and antifouled over the damage. Water poured through a crack when we launched it. Never proved liability and we had to repair it.

There is simply not enough headroom in the value of a relatively cheap old boat for this to be worth the risk.

Dont buy a crap Anerican boat at any price unless you consider it disposable

Just to give you a idea of level /money wise I’ve had a 28 ft carver 5.7 merc .. 1988 .. so don’t mind scratching around the lower end haha

Is that singular, a make, or American boats in general?

 

[Beamishken]

Dont buy a crap Anerican boat at any price unless you consider it disposable

Prety broad statement but I can assure you there are some good american boats and some crap European boats. Pretty dumb statement to state all american boats are crap

There fixed your statement to make you look less daft.

If so why do you need a merc engineer,
Maybe you could buy 2 elec wheel chairs off eBay and use them

I have my mums shop mobility for the port side and planned on blanking off the starboard drive hole with some ply and no nails

 

[stelican]

Sounds like a great idea can I invest in the project I has some spare u2 batteries

I suppose if you can get it cheap enough, even if you have to put a pair of new engines/outdrives in it, you will have a very nice boat for the money.

You asked advice. You got advice from people who have actually done it. Don’t get arsey when you don’t like what they say!

 

[Cavalierbond]

Was going along with the “ bants “ .. sorry fun police ..

You do realise that most members here have boats of 50ft+

Wrong forum to try and troll.... members here are actually a genuinely nice and helpful bunch with better things to do.

Back to your parents basement....

 

[Cavalierbond]

Where have I tried to troll mate ??
So do you have to be in the 50ft plus range to be one here ??or have a sense of humour ??
