I would only entertain the Sea Star pro, due to your HP & Speed.
Another to look at is hydrive
Yes I have got stuff of US ebay no problem Shipping cost + duty & VAT
 
I got your props yesterday by the way! I was well impressed with the packaging! Ill be sending your cheque off asap.
With the postage it will cost £500 + £87 VAT but I dont know what the duty is? Are there any ways around them? Like send them to a mate in the USA and having then send it back as a gift?
How much would I pay in the UK for a SeaStar Pro?
 
duty is 2.7%

Under UK customs law the max allowance for gifts is £50.00! Any more than this and the carrier is liable to all duty and vat charges ehich they will pass on to you! The bill sometimes arrives weeks or months later!

Depending on hose lengths, I can supply Seastar Pro with Front mount Cylinder, Helm mount & Oil for around £850 incl vat!
 
I generally find if ya mail them and ask - obviously stating you'll pay all shipping costs, and pay before they have to despatch, that they're OK to ship to the UK. Not always, but usually.
 
went for the Hydrive in the end from Southern Marine. Set me back just over £700 for the complete kit Inc the flexi hoses.
 
nah but I am getting it tomorrow so as soon as I get home from work I will take some then post some.
 
Said pics!
