Response to Very nice boat you found !
Hi

Thank you, I am very happy with the boat so far. Itīs a shame that I have to put it on the hard now for the long winter. There are quite a few of them here in Stockholm but mostly the I/O version.
The boat came on itīs own trailer so I asked the seller to winterize and to put shrink wrap plastic around it. I found a company on the internet that helped me ship the boat from Detroit to Baltimore harbour (I think I was about $1100). Then for the shipping over the Atlantic I think I payed around $2800. There are a lot of Volvo cars being shipped from Sweden every week so basically they just roll the boat onboard one of those ships on it's way back to Sweden. And then when the boat arrived to Sweden I picked it up for a 16 hours drive to it's new destination in Stockholm. That trip normally takes about 6 hours but I hade to go real slow since the trailer didn't have any working brakes. And it was very hard not to stop the car and rip away the shrink wrap so that I could have a look at the boat

It was a bite of an adventure but it was fun and luckily it turned out well.



Regards

Rickard
