I almost bought a Regina 43 in Cadiz,
Spain and shipped to So
California 2 years ago. The cost was about $35-40k plus de
rigging and prep and then
rigging plus
insurance. Then there was
import taxes, changing to 110 (a problem because 220v uses thinner
wiring and I concluded it may be better to keep the 220v and use 220 appliance and maybe use an transformer plus a
charger you can
plug to 110....it was complicated and expensive).
Bottom line...unless it is a unique must have boat and expensive enough to justify the transportation costs, it is not worth it.
I also thought about crossing the Atlantic and spending time in the the
East coast then ground transport to the West coast. Problem was that was and I am not in that stage of my life that I can take that time off.
One more thing, if you do decide to do it make sure that the
engine meets US emission standards.
Good Luck
