Didn't you buy a boat that came over in a container?
RR Found the thread from Jeff (38banana) https://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/...a-arrives.html |
I have shipped parts all over the world and helps to remind me how lucky/spoiled we are. I remember shipping a prop to an island somewhere and the buyer paid more in shipping than for the prop itself. He taught me that, “some things we don’t have and have to have it shipped in. Clearly, us Yanks are spoiled.

Yep, the Donzi. Squeezed sideways into a high cube container. I was surprised when you said 'project' because it was ready to run, just needed service and clean. You may have me confused with Jeff who is also in Thailand (down South in Phuket). He bought the old 38 "Top Banana" race boat and shipped it in a container. No engines or drives and in need of a full resto. Not sure what's happened there but I believe the boat is back up for sale with pretty much nothing done to it.

Lots to love about living here but not everything's a fairytale. I have a drive shower on my Bravo that owes me about 400 USD. Paid shipping plus 5,000 baht import duty because they quote: "Cannot know what the goods is".
Sorry OSO, I love this thread, hope we get back on topic. |

OK … been out of it for a while rak rua and got you mixed up.
Would like to know about the Banana? That Fun Deck looks like a nightmare. Needs stringers and transom and interior and …. |

I can't believe this showed up in Thailand. Looks like an original outboard boat, the cabin looks plausible given the vintage but the rest of the timber is definitely not correct. (Price 990,000 baht is about 30k USD) https://rod.kaidee.com/product-335936661 Roughly translated, vendor says it's original gelcoat, stored undercover and 190 hours total. Lounge, toilet, blah blah, blah.... Don't take Thai sellers too seriously, I suspect the boat has come here via Hong Kong or Japan and obviously had a few mods. RR |
