[outta line]

Hi ALL

iam looking for a glacier bay 2270 and may have a lead on one in the US ... I have been dealing with JNS united and Mona has been very help full so far.

Has anyone had dealings with JNS united pty ltd in the past ??

if so how did your import go ??? trouble free??

how accurate in detail was the description of your boat?? i will get it surveyed

they have a FB page have a look and look forward too anyones feed back

its kinda a bit stress full thinking of parting with your hard earned $$$$$ when the boat is so far away

cheers mick

Been there done that. My import went really well but I have friend who's import went really bad. Cost him an extra 20k to get the boat of the docks in brisbane because the importer was not paying her bills. He was not the only one caught out. Make sure your agent/importer is a good one.

I used marine advantage and put another person onto him who is also very pleased with his service.

Cheers mate I'll look into them... Can you pm me the name of the bad importer cheers

There no longer in business.

the importer has nothing to do with describing the boat do they?
Given the margins and forex is so tight now I would only use a well established player like Portsea

Check around for yank boats in Oz first. There are a lot which were brought in by FIFOs during the mining boom but have now come on the market. Try Gladstone and Mackay Marinas for info on boats up that way.

I brought in a WELLCRAFT 290. It was a really tidy, low hours boat. While there are traps for new players in importing a vessel, a real problem if you ask around is the number of low hours four strokes which are self destructing on the back of the imports. This is worth doing some homework around reputable marine mechanics. And yes, I replaced two heads on mine due to rusted and snapped valve springs............Viking 57
