You shouldn't expect any problem other than you can have anywhereelse.. If the boat is turkish flagged, she must have been VAT paid. Nonetheless, this VAT (1%) are not accepgted as paid by some countries, definately not in EU countries as Turkey is not part of EU. For deflagging and exporting the boat from Turkey, there are obviously some expenses to be incurred and you should discuss these with the seller or broker upfront. (1-3% of the sale value)
If you need a surveyor, I have very good one, a Britt who lives in Bodrum.
Good luck..
