How's the trawler market?

There was a Cdn owned KK42 that went south to a US buyer last year. I locked in our US$'s at $0.971 in Jan, 2013, just when the Cdn$ started to fall. We made our offer 2 months later and competed the sale 2 months after that. We could not afford to buy this vessel with the Cdn$ now at $0.834 US and my sense is our boat would probably sell for more in this current market as there are no KK42's available in the PNW. Remember it costs another 25% for a buyer from BC to bring a Taiwanese boat into the province.
