thats not bad at all haven`t seen this site before am going to look into costs for bringing one over or even just the engine brand new 300 promax $18,000 225 $12,000 got a mate who lives in florida but i am sure there must be a few hidden costs there was a company on ebay said they could import any boat from states but have not seen ad for a while

Scream and fly?
Yeah, it's cool! I brought my boat over from the US. I organised all the shipping my self though.
Is that company is called Global Trade Partners? Its probably cheaper to organise it yourself and I found out recently that I paid way over what I could have if I used a US shipping co. I paid €3500 for a 20' container from Boston.
There are a couple of things to considder though, 1. you will have to pay VAT on your total including shipping. 2. you will need to have the boat CE certified to comply with the RCD, no major deal as uscg regulations are pretty much on par with the rcd.

cheers mate how much did you pay for your boat over there was it a lot cheaper than what you could buy similar here including costs i`m not going to be buying for a while but i am deffently interested even if it is just the engine loads on offer at very good prices and presume engine would be cheaper to ship looking for 24 boat so would need 30 foot container
do you still have to pay vat on second hand goods

RedMist website??
Bert its all a massive trade off, it will make you cry running 300promaxs,
Take the step up to diesel power....
Tony doesnt make the 26 anymore, and apparently a new one with a diesel is gonna be priced £60k+

if its choppy as it often is 60mph is prob about 10mph more than he'll do in those 21-23 lightweight outboard boats...
plus he'll have a nice cabin and safe/stable ride for his wife and kid.
Its an ideal boat and we are only selling because we want to go long distance crusing with 4 adults and a lot more fizzy pop!!

we looked at a Hunton 37, but still not roomy enough.... downstairs ok... but cockpit space less than RedMist's!!
so sunseeker Tomahawk 37 mk II (1991-93) , always like these.... on the lookout for one with old big block petrols...cheap.. then re-engine twin yanmars 315 or maybe marin diesels 330, would hope this would give 50mph
or I love the old sunseeker Thunderhawk 43 !! (89-93)
lots more cabin and cockpit space...
have found one in Spain with knackered petrols.... but not sure if twin 300 diesels are gonna make this lump go over 40mph !!!

60k is a lot of money for me but the progression is a 24 hull with same size cuddy as extreme 24 but with one 300 promax will do 80mph for 34k and still has bathing platform and sun pad outboard on bracket allthough is in america just won`t to know the benifits of inboards on this size boat

Bert, understand your point, our boat is up for low 40's....
and I believe if the new ones are 60-70 then the old ones should hold their value?
your problem may be after spending 34k on a 24ft boat with a new 300 promax...
and burning 200 quid every day you use it, then selling and wondering why no-one will offer you over 20k for an un-known yank hull with a out of warranty timebomb on the stern!!
just my opion of course... would be amazing fun when you had it though !!

It's a Chaudron (Phantom 25) made in Malta, I haven't had a proper look yet but it looks well finished with really nice upholstery!

something like that is what i would realy like but missus will only chip in if i get something with cuddy and toilet and i dont think you get that untill phantom 28 saw jons at weekend lovely boat would love one but is a 2 engine boat bit to big and heavy to trailer regualy like the extreme but seems to be the only boat in this bracket and origanaly wanted outboard did you ever make 24-26 with outboards
been looking at some american boats and am starting to like inboards to just need so much extra hp compared to outboards and take up alot of space in boat
