Damage Control

So, I've been playing fast and loose with the spirit of the rules regarding me (US citizen) keeping my boat (US registered) near me while living in Canada (officially temporarily, but we've applied for landed status. Two years ago. And counting.) On Sunday, returning from the states again, Canadian border services said uh-uh, not unless you import the boat within 48 hours.

So now I'm back ashore, and scrambling to find out what my costs are going to be for the import (12% taxes on my US-built boat), insurance, registration, etc. Anyone done this before?
