Thread mates,
I am planning to buy a
boat owned by an American expat who is living in Macao, and has the craft registered and documented there. Since I am also an American, my plan is to
purchase the
boat in Macao and to apply for US Coast Guard
documentation in my name, while readying the boat to
cruise to
Taiwan and further afield. (see
China Sea thread for details on all that).
I would clear Macao flying the US flag and carrying USCG
documentation with me when I arrive in
Taiwan. If anyone is familiar with
purchasing a boat in this part of the world, or if anyone sees any potential
legal or financial drawbacks to this plan, please let me know.
Thanks, in advance, to all.
