Eric, I got your PM, but couldn't figure out how to respond to you. The 410 you were talking about is not the one I'm Looking at. I don't know anything about that boat, I couldn't do a delayed ownership.
Regarding bringing a french boat to US waters; I asked that same question just the other day and the thread is posted on "Dollars and Cents"
Are you not aware of the civil strife that is in effect in both Martinique and Guadeloupe?
According to recent reports that I've read, there has been progress made in negotiations between the labor unions and the government, but the labor unions on both islands are still on strike, and many businesses are still shuttered. I haven't seen any reports of violence for a couple of weeks.
