Benetau, Jenneau, French crap that are worse than their cars.

It is funny how all the ads for those yachts concentrate on their interiors rather than the more important on deck situations.

So are you saying that this yacht just doesn't shake your booty at all??

or this one. Sorry no island bed and it is $500 over your budget.

This one has a sort of island bed in the bow but $15g over budget.

Spoke to a guy on the weekend that showed me onboard his Beneteau 40, tried to tell me how good French boats are. Also told me American boats are crap and the hunters B&R backstayless rigs are known to fall down....funny I can't find any info on the subject! It seems people's opinons travel far and wide with boat designs!

All these Bavarias have volvo engines and most with over 1000 engine hours. The duck board transom looks cluttered for two divers and gear. My budget is 200 to 215k I would rather spend the full money on a later model boat rather than have to spend the money later on replacing stuff. Also I'm not a fan of forward v berths and aft quarter berths!

Thanks anyway for your recommendation but it just feels to me Bavaria is not for me.....I'm still thinking Hunter or jeanneau at present.

There's an awful lot of those "crappy" French Beneteau, Jeanneau or even Dufor floating around the worlds oceans.
Just for the record, I drive one of those "worse than crap" French cars and have done so for nearly thirty years, no way in hell would you find me in a Holden or Ford.

Well from what I have read Hunters are very well built and its only the people that actually own them that have good things to say about them! American made has always had a good reputation. We are talking Boing vs Airbus here! Chevy vs Peugeot! But I could just swing both ways as I do like the jeanneau layout and lines.

..and getting back to the OT.
Keep an eye on this site www.marineauctions.com.au/ . There is not too much but you could come across a bargain.

This one could be a bit big for you but you'd be sleeping alright www.marineauctions.com.au//?m=11&id=1572

Carter 33 for 35 grand in the back of this months "Afloat" would be worth a look. The Cav 32 is still there too, must have the record for the longest ad in history surely!

I'm upsizing not downsizing.....

Is this cheap or what ?? 100 hours on the engine!! Must be a typo! Or Cisco is playing a joke on me!

Ok they changed from $149 k this morning dam!

LooseChange I don't think you're right on not having to pay GST when importing a yacht, if that's what you meant.

I looked at all of this a couple of years ago and pretty sure you get hit up for GST on the purchase price as soon as you enter the country irrespective if it's been bought from a dealer or privately. Also, there's a duty charge (which from memory is an additional 5%) unless you're buying from NZ or USA.

You are correct in saying that GST is payable on a foreign yacht.
When I said no GST, I was answering the the question that Southace had asked which I assumed to mean buying in Australia.
For overseas purchases this should clear it up.

I believe that things have changed since we and the US entered a free trade agreement. Worth checking, suggest call or check the Dept of Trade or whatever it is called this week website.

Obviously as yet no one has bothered to read this

www.australiatrade.com.au/Shipping/Import/Boats.htm

yes, read that some time ago Loosechange

My thought is if you had a American friend saling on a visa in Australian waters and he wanted to sell his boat and fly home I wonder if this would still be applicable.....perhaps a loophole!
