My dad's buddy either sold a boat to somebody in Canada or bought a boat from somebody in Canada and the thing was seized at the border and impounded for months. I think they had all the right paperwork in hand, but obviously something must not have been right. Wish i knew more for ya...

When we bought the Newell from the factory in OK, it had been previously registered in Canada. They originally told us that we had to drive it back to Canada to clear customs to get a clear title. Fortunately we just had to take it to customs at the Tulsa airport so they could varify VIN numbers.

Hopefully it is that easy on one coming directly from Canada.

Buying a boat in Canada is as easy as buying it from any other state. If you or Brent need any help, call me. I ship boats to the US all the time.

I purchased an outdrive last week from B.C. Canada. I was watching the UPS Tracking, and it was in customs for 5 days!

Ted we just bought a fountain from canada, customs was not a problem because they didnt know what to do just let us drive right through could of been full of terrorist they didnt care. Trailer was missing a wheel lost the bearings 20 miles from the border they never even noticed wheel was missing.

Title took 3 weeks, once we got paper work back from the bank and went to title bureau ourselves got it in one day. Registration no problem.
