Default Lets face it!

Lets Face it - whatever you end up with you'l always wish you could afford to buy the X-star or X-2 at that.. Mastercraft really are leading the way with wakeboard boats.. although malibu seem to be doing well lately.. still reckon the way to do it is ship from the USA second hand... transport is about $2000 for a container.. so can fill with other goodies too

$2000 for a container? double that to start with. Unless you bring a rowing boat it it will need to be a 40ft'er or bespoke.

Also you will need to go meet it at the docks with a trailer ready.. another 2k.

Fiddling the taxman is like shafting yourself with a large tree branch. Especially on something as large as a boat.. get found out and the fines will make you wish you'd never been born - not to mention the possible jail time.

There's more to this than people seem to thin, especially since CE marking came in.
