Re: OT: Any US list members with knowledge abou the used (motor)yacht market?
It is indeed somewhat on topic as the yacht is my new shooting platform for my Pentax gear :-) I will buy it unseen! I was in Holland two years ago finding two boats. By the time I got home, both were sold! It costed me about $ 4000 and no boat! I will however do a marine survey. It cost cost around $1000. In addition, there are Norwegians in Florida who do business helping people buying boats arranging everything. For about 1.3 million Norwegian Kr (this include everything shipping + tax) I get a a boat that is worth in excess of 2 millions in Norway so the economical risk isn't that great. I will use it partly as a live aboard.
