if you were ta bring the average brit boat to the us you would be laughed at it would probably finish up stuck in the intake of a fountain or summin like that lol

Have nowt against american boats myself,lot of boat for the money,the only problem i have with them is getting them over here and finding somebody stateside you can trust,already lost a $3500 deposit with a guy called Skip Tatem on a formulae deal that went tits up,trying to sue the guy from over here aint going to work,you need to be over there to sort it and all the hassle and rigmarole involved bringin it in just aint worth it,maybe in Ireland its different,or you have a good contact who you can trust with your dosh and shipping.

LOL...i dont want anything upfront ..untill the boat is payed for and we are rolling...i dont charge people to look at a boat if its close by !!!!
i do have a 35 aero-tek turn key , plessure boat ..( 84 MPH LOADED ) for 22 K us for sale here..that is in a real good shape, but no trailer...so figure 3-4 US for a nice trailer on top of that.
engines have 30 hours on them 510 CI 620HP each Tyler Crocket build !!!!
Bravos everything..nice boat..here......
oh, and its a special edition...( the USA EXPRESS , is the same modell but not the same boat !!!!! )

Yep, cape coral is about 1,1/2 hours south of me...but i am around there all the time !!!
give me the info and i will look at it !!! No problem.
AERO-TEK, this one here is realy cheap, the guy just had the engines done by crocket marine for over 40 K 30 hours ago..so its actually free and better, boat is in good shape and runs strong, since its the same make and 1 foot longer then mine its also a super ruff wtare boat,,kind of like a 41 Apache..and i am not kidding !!!
