Boat registration requirements and engine emissions greatly vary depending which state in the US you are living in. What state are you moving to?

I have just shipped a Revenger to South Australia. The trailer has caused more issues than the boat - it is classed as a road vehicle so has to be registered in its own right. This required inspection and modification. The boat just had to be inspected by Customs and Biosecurity on entry, and have an identity check after registration. The high price of boats in Australia and the lack of anything comparable to the Revenger justifies the importation. I should add that the boat and everything else I owned fitted in one shipping container so I did not have to pay a transportation cost.

There are projects to be had over here - just saw a 5.4m Searider on Craigslist for $1000.

yep - had a load of snow there the past few days.
I do like seasons, don't mind the rain (just as well) or the snow.
But when its summer up there the boating is spectacular.
I don't think I have the time or inclination for a project if I am honest
To get the most use of it - I will need the boat to be ready to roll.
I think bringing my own boat over is the way to go.
