I/o 454, bravo. They did do a decent job chopping a 24/7 to make it, but the wiring job looks like it was done by a jr high auto shop student. There is also some wasted space, youd think storage would have been maximized on a little boat.

Good to see you, Mr Sparky.
Rat, nice to see you are still around. I rember when you left for Costa Rica several years ago. Nice to see the world. Anyway the shipper I use for Caribbean does not go to Columbia but try this:

SC Line 305-767-4610, 305-767-1900 (US)

+507-830-5000, +507-282-5700 (Panama)
Colombia, Panama, Mexico, Venezuela, Dominican Republic
Frequency: bi-weekly
Type: Ro-Ro

Hopefully what you buy has a trailer and it can be rolled on. Good luck.

Bob

that is a nice looking boat, but i need out boards, no cuddy, totally open so i can haul a lot of building materials and sections of walls that will be about 8'x8'...

i think im going to buy a 26' shamrock with a lil yanmar turbo diesel... that will get me done until we are open for business, and it will only burn around 4 or 5 gals an hours at cruise... i will need to make hundreds of trips to get all my materials to the island...

in the mean time i will keep hunting for a clean 27 magnum marine cc, thx, rm

I can see it now--- BYC in Litigation due to Coasties shooting his azz out of the water due to Suspicious Activity in middle of the night! BUT boat is completely Clean due to NO Contraband!! Hell probably not even any Beer on board!!

Dockwise can get you from Port Everglades, Florida to Golfito, Costa Rica

that is still a ways from Colombia, but it is through the Panama Canal (the only bad thing is it heads north/west after that not south)

http://www.yacht-transport.com/sched...h.html#results

it would be 700 miles from there to Buenaventura hugging the coast with one 70 mile stretch of ocean crossing and another 127 mile stretch.......long total miles, but not really super far stretches not hugging the coast

actually sorry when I looked at where you need the boat to be it looks like Dockwise might not have anything for you....I read the part about "past the Panama Canal" and assumed you meant through and you were west coast Columbia......where you say the resort island will be is east coast

maybe contact Dockwise anyway and they might know others or perhaps they can stop and drop before heading through the canal (for a fee of course haha)

perhaps 7 Star would work better

Palm Beach to Cartagena
