- 2004 Grand Alaskan 65
Hey all,
Not sure what to call this, but seeking advice from anyone that has dealt with buying a boat over in Europe and then moving to the U.S.
My new boat, Grand Alaskan 65 was purchased last month and is about to leave Croatia by hired captain and meet up with transport ship in Corfu, Greece. Previous owner told me I have to have the boat stop in Montenegro to avoid problems with Greek authorities and having to pay VAT. I am still waiting on Coast guard paperwork and have a "running letter" as well as all the sale paperwork in the hands of my captain.
Does anyone have any experience with this process? I am losing my mind trying to get solid information on this.
Thanks everyone.
