How hard is it to buy a new boat from the states and have it shipped to Canada?
Taxes? Duties? And what ever else?
Thanks

It’s easy.
Documentation is key.
A new purchase from a dealer / manufacturer is pretty straight forward.
If it’s a used package I’d suggest you have the seller have the signed bill of sale notarized.
You’ll be dinged for HST on the value (converted to CDN $) when you cross the border.
If you’re purchasing the boat on a trailer you’ll also have to deal with RIV (some as if you’re importing a motor vehicle). Home built trailers are an issue. I know of people who’ve had to leave a boat on a home built trailer at the border and return with a “legal” trailer.

That's interesting. Thanks for the reply. I've been thinking of an Allishot with a drag top for quite some time now. Maybe this will happen by spring time.. We'll see.

Yes was thinking. The Saint Laurence River can be pretty rough at times. I was thinking of up grading my 56 OMC, Delta to something a bit bigger. My wife will still need a bit of coxing before she gets in with me though.

So a 15R clone with the drag deck?

Well that's what I have in mind. Just checking to see if it's feasible. Do I go get it myself or....
I have a couple of friends that are international truckers. Maybe they could pick it up for me.
Gonna work on this, this winter.

Do the road trip!
Take the opportunity to go meet Jack, see his operation....it’s worth the trip.
Super guy to deal with.
If you’re not in a position to make the drive talk to him about transport.
I know there’s a handful of FTP hulls that will be getting shipped up over the next 6 months.

I believe that's a two day trip just to get there. If it was closer, I would definitely go.
Right now, the Government gives me only a 72 hour pass to go and get back before I am subjected to a bunch of tests and a 14 day isolation period.

I think you need the test within 72 hours of your return. So you could get tested in the US a day or two before you hit Canada.

There are quick test places in the Detroit area
