    Layout question

    More and more people are telling me that I am over my head, when I am looking for a larger boat to have a comfortable live-aboard layout. As a newbie, I am bitten by the large boat ' bug ', but it is changing. Many of the boats I looked were in the 50-55' range. Since my budget is tight, this...

    YW delivery estimate is real?

    Several times during my search, I see boats in far away states and I am not sure what to think of the shipping estimate on YW? For example, a boat of a size 48' gives my an estimate around 4-5K from Florida to WA. Is this real? The cost comparison lists similar boats with this price range...

    PNW import, or not...? Banks are tough!

    Why do some banks finance a boat from across the border, but others don't? Is it the process? Is it the paperwork? Or, just policy? If one wants to buy a boat from Canada and bring it to WA, how is it done? Has anyone did it successfully? If yes, how did you convince your bank to go for it?

    Anyone knows, or can recommend dry storage (24/7 access) for a yacht up to 60' in the Puget Sound area? I searched around, but most of them max it out at 40-45 feet, or provide limited access only. Thanks.

    Other: offer - but no answer

    I put down a deposit and signed and offer on a boat, but the seller does not have any answer for me, yet. The broker keeps saying that he is waiting for the answer. Is there a standard, how soon an offer should be accepted, or rejected? :banghead:

    Other: Delivery or not?

    Is it worth shipping over to the West coast from the East coast? Let say, there is a 50'-er I like, but I cannot bring it over floating. The only option is trucking it. What do companies charge for a delivery like this? Laz

    The future of diesel is here?

    I came across of this web site, where a new technology is being implemented. Although, it is for trucks only for now, but the company is actively pursuing other options and vehicles for their technology.
