Hi Pål! Long time, no... um... sea? Ok, sorry, I just couldn't resist. Sounds like and old dream nearing realisation there. As a hopeless landlubber I wouldn't know the first thing about the yacht market in any country, but it strikes me as a terrible gamble to make such investments over the internet, unseen. Are you planning to go over there and look for one? Btw, to make this on-topic, you could always claim you wish to take your Pentax for a circumnavigation. :-) Best, Jostein 2008/3/7, Pål Jensen [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Sorry about the OT message but I'm considering buying a 42ft Grand Banks motor yacht from Florida.

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. I work one week and have one week off so I have plenty of time for boating and photography! - Original Message - From: AlunFoto [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List pdml@pdml.net Sent: Friday, March 07, 2008 8:38 AM Subject: Re: OT: Any US list members with knowledge abou the used (motor)yacht market?
