But that quote does include 19% Value Added Tax (VAT) as required in the Euro zone. I think the yanks have more like 0% to 10% VAT depending on which state you are from.

So above US$ 20.000 will still be right.

Note everybody that US$ 19.800 will get you a Falcon F16 sloop mode with spi (2-up) and a carbon mast.

Of course the Stealth F16 (carbon mast) will be LOTS cheaper then the Hobie icat when purchased by EU customers. Hell the i-cat quote will get you a Blade or Falcon F16 in 2-up mode with a carbon mast and a suit of landenberger sails.
