So after ripping around in my son's Voodoo a few times I was thinking it might be an idea to upgrade in a year or two to a newer composite hull with a little more power for us to share. I forgot how fun the little boats are :D .I would want something though that wouldn't rot out like the old Streams. Who is making an open deck style boat anymore? Only one I have heard of is possibly a 13' Allison copy out of Florida, and a 15' Allishot made by Jack Barsh also in Florida. Anyone building something similar up here? Would be a pain to bring one up from the US.
Maybe I will get lucky and find a used Allison copy up here for sale.
Thanks

It's a piece of cake bringing a boat up from the US.
Don't let the border scare you.
Go to Florida for march break, stop at FTP, drag a boat home......
Done!!

Its more of a time and crummy exchange rate pain. Just don't have that kind of time to drive to Florida and back. I bought my Grandsport in the US about 9 years ago but it was only 8 hrs away and at the time our dollar was actually worth more than the US.

You can use u-Ship to get good quotes for guys to pick up the boat in the US and drop it off at a shipping depot along the US side of the border. You then run across and bring the boat over the border yourself, saving the costs of a customs broker. Just like Northbase said, if your paperwork is in order it's a painless process. You can probably have a boat like that shipped up to the border for ~$1500 USD if you're flexible on the timing.

And there's Frank Mole on Scream and Fly for transport services. He's often empty coming back from Florida.

If you're shipping a new T sized boat I think it would make more sense to buy a voodoo or a closed deck critchy.

Anyone know how much a new Voodoo is? Not interested in a closed deck boat.

Do you have any interest in a open deck Critchfield not very common but i have had one in my family for 8 years and it has come back to me again... Set up for omc , turn signal trim controls, new rideguide steering cable, bench or bucket seat, jack plate, trailer and running lights. Send me a number and i can text some pic's if interested
