Title pretty much says it all, looking for first or second hand experience. We would like to do it in Colon,
Panama for its free
trade zone status so we don't get nailed with huge
import tax (thats the idea anyways). We have decided to go with beta in UK with the good exchange rate currently as its almost half of what it was going to cost before we left so we like to get it in sooner rather than later. Beta is willing to hold the
engine until we get a good place to ship and do the install which is nice. So has anyone here done a
repower in this area of the world? We are currently in Quepos,
Costa Rica heading south. If we could stay longer than 3 months I would be interested in doing it here, but we only have another month on our visa, so
panama is the next stop. Our
current engine, more specifically our
gearbox should make it through the
canal, I hope, so shelter bay is in our cross hairs. Any help would be great!
