I think they are a better boat.

Good luck in your search.

If you decide to look at a brokerage boat in the US, don't hesitate to ask in the forum for a volunteer to go see the boat and give you an unbiased "pre-survey."

Don't restrict yourself to just the West Coast either. Internal shipping in the US isn't cheap, but there are some lightly used boats in the Great Lakes that have experienced short... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (melelana) http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/sreply/3992 Fri, 09 Dec 2005 06:43:34 GMT http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/reply/3991/t/Shipping-USA-to-Australia.html#reply-3991
As I said I am some time away from a purchase but I am sure it will be a C42 or C400 (In OZ or USA).

Thanks Chris for the email address and a Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to everyone on this forum.

In the USA the terms "propane" and "LPG" are essentially the same thing. LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) has various components, but a large part is propane.

The other common fuel gas is CNG or compressed natural gas. This is almost pure methane.

There are two big differences. First, propane liquefies at ordinary room temperature under a pressure of 100 to 150 PSI (7... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (yorkrose) http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/sreply/3990 Thu, 08 Dec 2005 18:15:03 GMT http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/reply/3989/t/Shipping-USA-to-Australia.html#reply-3989
I have also heard you can ship on the carriers, and that it can be economical. Worth checking into, but keep in mind that the boat may be larger than their normal containers, so you may have to pay for 2 or 4 container spaces. Also, check into shipping into different ports because that can influence the price, but then you might have to truck.

I am glad to hear you are so please with your boat. I agree with your comments RE C400 and I feel the 42 has some advantages for long distance cruising or long stays on board. So I think you made the right choice. A friend of mine has just bought a 1999 C400 MkII and is very happy. I hope to purchase a local or OS C42 in about 12 months time.

We also looked at the 40 and I didn't like the lack of headroom in the aft cabin. Also, the 42 has a larger engine (56 hp is standard). The third little thing about the 40 was having to step up to enter through the main hatch, it seems so awkward to step up and duck under the dodger all at once. I know these aren't biggies, but they swayed us a... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (cpayne14) http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/sreply/3985 Wed, 07 Dec 2005 22:50:57 GMT http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/reply/3984/t/Shipping-USA-to-Australia.html#reply-3984
Using Dockwise seems just viable, shipping from West Coast, if there is such a thing as a good deal. It seems all up import cost is about $25-$30k USD plus 10% GST (no duty for USA import) on total cost plus conversions, for Ensenada to Brisbane if purchased in USA (significantly more from east coast).

The advantage could be cruising Mexico/west coast followed by cruising Whitsundays then cruse to... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (davidaust2) http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/sreply/3984 Wed, 07 Dec 2005 02:54:09 GMT http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/reply/3983/t/Shipping-USA-to-Australia.html#reply-3983

I am thinking of purchasing a (2000-2001 model) Catalina 42 on West Coast of USA and shipping to Australia.

Probably won't save money but very few good used 42's available here and most are ex charter boats.

Does anyone know of shipping costs and/or shipping companies.

I only know of Dockwise and they cost $25-$30k USD float on float off West Coast to Oz. I... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (davidaust2) http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/topic/1260 Tue, 06 Dec 2005 02:53:38 GMT
