Mange, are there any dealers that you work with here in the states that someone could purchase a boat from directly to ease the transaction? For example I'd love to upgrade to a new Activator down the road but it would be pretty scary sending funds overseas to get one built and then wait to have it shipped back....as well as I'm not sure how registering it would go. Just curious, I've been following some of your builds and my opinion it's the best looking boat out there in that size!

One Idea is that we build a hull/deck including Stainless steel fueltank´with connectors 270 litre (NO Gallon
), flooring, Engine hatch, our custom deck rail, motorstringers and our race/lift cleats and black or White rigid rubrail and then put it to Port Of Gothenburg for shipping to US-port. Then my suggestion would be the PAPA Activator AKA Mark Schnepf at RAGE POWERBOATS do the rest of the job as rigging etc. The interiors can be offered by PPI Sarasota. They have the Activator-front seats and the template for the rear bench as well. The best part is that IF you and some other guy (TwoKs?) want to purchase A 27 Activator on the same time we maybe (MAYBE) can fit two 27's in a 40 container and then split the shipping cost on half. We need to do some measurements on A 40ft container to make sure it's possible. I allways say to US buddys that ask me of a new boat - Check the shipping prices your self
If one boat: Port Of Gothenburg. If two boat's in A 40ft container I Think Port of Stockholm will be the thing. Yesterday we popped A new hull out the mold and the mold are warm and nice to start with A new hull right away. We have done some Changes in the mold on the step design. The midstep is moved forward A couple of inches... to get the CG more right. And also have to mention - the US dollar vs the Swedish "Krona" is on your side now
Thanks,
Mange
