Long story made short. When I bought my boat, I was just out of college and about as poor as one can get.

Anyhow, I've had a real job for a little over a year and have spent this season getting to know the boat and the handling aspects of a catamaran. My 28 year old boat and 33 year old trailer can be troublesome. Now that I've got some money saved up, I have been thinking about upgrading to a much newer boat.

Yeah, I know, right after I just dropped dinero into new sails.

Anyhow. Has anyone bought a boat <new or used> outside of the US and brought it back into the US? What all is involved with it? I imagine it would be a nightmare getting a title for the boat. Any customs issues?

Probably won't happen this season, but I might make the plunge sometime next season. The nacra 500 or a nice 5.0 are somewhat appealing to me and I've seen a couple for sale in Canada.
