Re: Importing a Boat to Australia

Just an update here:

Re: Importing a Boat to Australia

I used Ozforex to buy my boat in N. America. They saved me thousands, but I would have saved thousands more if I had taken Savoirs advice about when to get the money out. Doh!

Re: Importing a Boat to Australia

Comparing power boat prices in the US to power boat prices in Oz is much more on track than comparing power boat to sailboat prices in this thread... sorry but they're already talking abut shutting...

Re: Importing a Boat to Australia

I have found that there isn't that many 120 volt appliances on the boats I am after here in North America. I plan to leave these appliances as 120 volts (run off of an inverter) and the majority of...

Re: Importing a Boat to Australia

OK... I knew this would happen. Personally I know that it's very possible to live aboard, but alas, it is technically illegal (here it is for NSW... I'm too busy to look it up for VIC and QLD) NSW...

INCLUDING an amazing 9-12 month adventure! :)

Re: Importing a Boat to Australia

I've plugged about a dozen boats that I've looked at here in the US into Dennis's spreadsheet (and also against my own research for the website) and there is significant savings of around 40%-50% on...

Re: Importing a Boat to Australia

Thanks for the insight savoir. As I am in the US right now, I might try to get some extra cash out in the next few days :)

Re: Importing a Boat to Australia

Great! It's an excellent exercise and will help out a lot of folks who are curious about the reality of import costs. When you are finished, may I post it up on my non-commercial info site? With all...

Re: Importing a Boat to Australia

Re: Importing a Boat to Australia

Re: Importing a Boat to Australia

I never really thought about buying a used boat at a marine auction. From this post it sounds as though deals could be had (if people were willing to do some re-fit). Has anyone here purchased their...

Re: Importing a Boat to Australia

@djambalawa (https://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/members/djambalawa-60640.html) I believe that IF the gas is CFC or HCFC you can apply for a one off permit to import the air con unit as is. Depending...
