Selling a 110v Catamaran in Europe

Hello folks,

We have recently relocated to Portugal from North America and have are planning to sail a couple of seasons in the Med.

Our broker has found us what would seem to be a good deal on a US-spec'd 2018 Leopard 40 in Florida that we would, of course, have to bring across to the Med in the coming months. The boat has had a recent refit but does not more than the basic Leopard solar (2x70w, I believe).

The electrical system is 110v which, to my simple mind, could be a negative or financial handicap should we wish to sell the boat in the Med in a couple or few years. Our broker seems to say that this would not be a significant drawback to selling opportunities in the Med.

Has anyone had any experience selling a 110v boat in a 220v world and, if so, did you find that you had to discount your boat to compensate for having the 'wrong' electrical system for this part of the world?

We are just seeing what the options might be for resale down the road, one of which of course would be to bring the boat back to the US for sale.

Mant thanks for any advice, cheers
