I hope that this question doesn't sound dumb, but I haven't found the answer yet.
Let's say I take advantage of the devalued Euro and
purchase an Italian flagged
boat in
Italy.
Obviously, I cannot begin the USCG
documentation process until the deal closes. From what I am reading here, it can take several weeks to several months to get US
Documentation.
Am I then stuck in the country where I
purchase the vessel while I await the documentation?
Is the Bill of
Sale sufficient to begin the
delivery to North America?
Thanks in advance for an answer from someone who's been there and done that?
