You will probably wont save any money! I got my squirt boat sent over from canada had to pay $200 us postage plus airport tax of £90 plus airport storage £80 plus import tax / VATof 22%

If you import a river boat and things go wrong you will have to take it back to wherever you bought it or your warrenty will be void. Personally I think you would be better off buying from a shop in this country the pricesa are not that bad you may have to save a little longer or buy 2nd hand

Those prices are very similar to the uk prices when you put shipping on top they are going to way over! Even if you pick a boat up on the continent you will not save very much money if anything at all.
