got pics ?

not yet but it is beatifull outside the hull and the cabin is like brand new

OK, assuming you found something turn-key, but had to ship it, you'd be an extra 17-large in the hole. Estimating this one is going to set you back $100K, and even taking away a shipping charge that you won't have to pay, you're still talking $83K for a 700hr '94 382 with no trailer.

Bro, have you seen what $83K can fetch you here in the classifieds!? I'd have to say pass on that deal.

Financially and support wise, you'd be better off moving yourself to the states rather than shipping that boat to Greece.
