I had a mate go to an awful amount of trouble bringing a boat from the UK to here in Australia, once here he found it was far than suitable to the rougher conditions we get. He's still stuck with the boat that he's been trying to sell for three years.

I have just shipped a Revenger to South Australia. The trailer has caused more issues than the boat - it is classed as a road vehicle so has to be registered in its own right. This required inspection and modification. The boat just had to be inspected by Customs and Biosecurity on entry, and have an identity check after registration. The high price of boats in Australia and the lack of anything comparable to the Revenger justifies the importation. I should add that the boat and everything else I owned fitted in one shipping container so I did not have to pay a transportation cost.
