Nice boat. I spent a week on a DeFever 41 very similar to this in the North Channel. Very comfortable, spacious, lots of headroom. Tempted to take a look but not sure if I want the complexities and legalities to deliver it back home to Canada.

We sold our US boat to a Canadian last year. The issues were not difficult to deal with for the very savvy buyer.

I wouldn't want to hijack this thread, but I would appreciate any tips you might be able to share about cross-border sale... can move this to a DM or a separate thread if you're willing?

I would like to see it in about a week and a half when my wife returns from Italy hopefully she will still be available

We used a great broker who buys and sells boats in both Canada and the US. In Hamilton there should be several who do this routinely. Beaches Marine or North South Nautical Group might be worth a call.
