This is an awesome insight for an import through you guys, im impressed and thank you for breaking it all down to see the hidden costs and discussing them if one was to try the exercise on there own. Great boats by the way, I like them. This is the true reality of the complete scenario and you have nailed it, well done.
Viewer from America here. First of all, I am in no way shape or form, arguing/disputing your numbers, nor am I in any way saying you are dishonest. But correct me if I am wrong, as of today, $163,000 Aussie dollars is $106,435 American dollars. So my issue is, why would anyone (in America) and I am thinking it would likely be the same in Australia, consider/bother to purchase a Chinese Hull? Yes, they are nice, but when all is said and done, a comparable American made hull, pretty much translates to a comparable price depending upon the manufacturer. And if you want to purchase a slighty used boat complete, you are looking at roughly half that cost (give or take). Granted, my comparable numbers are not exact, but I equate them to be within a narrow margin. It is a head scratcher to me as to why anyone (Aussie or American) would opt for the import boat. Am I missing something here? Admittedly, it wouldnt be the first time!😅
My question for you is: Where are you finding a comparable boat to his for $105,000 all in. He is quoting after taxes, electronics, heck even lines and gear. Find me a new boat anywhere near what he is offering for that kind of money.
I work in China near the factory and visited on Saturday i was so impressed. Defiantly going to purchase a 10m cat. Watched both your videos and understand the costs as my partner and I do a lot of shipping and costs are runaway.
I bought my 2nd hand Suzuki 23ft from BoatFlow in Japan ,cost me about $14k landed as deck cargo to Newcastle then trucked to Sydney - I did not have to money to buy a Oz boat that size
Are there any carbon / kevlar boat manufacturers or only aluminum? What is the cost savings from ordering / importing china vs a local builder of equal quality?
At that price , buy Australian! Keep the business here where we need it! You will save the freight , import duty , delivery costs in China , etc etc etc. There are plenty of very high quality boat builders in most states especially Queensland! Common guys lets get AU companies up and running long term!
We can assist on a consultancy basis - so you get our hulls with all the modifications and improvements along with our assistance with shipping etc. You can message us through our facebook page or website if your interested. There is a video on You tube "Hidden costs of importing" which explains the process a little better - Regards Guy
I worked for horse trailer importer and i know there is a ton of perks like you dont just bring a boat in as the containers still have plenty of room, our boss claimed poor as well he could only just afford a 3 million dollar boat, new cars new house plus more, buy aussie built everyone the quality is far superior 😊
How can we afford to do that, we're not all Oligarchs like the Sheila's want, the boys need a nice new n' cheep tidy fishing boat with a few spare $ left over in order to contribute to frock, shoes, and handbag allowances. You know gifting a filleting knife and pair of pink oilskins could be pushing it
Im asking if they are gospel boats becaus ive seen a few reviews of owners are reporting rust problems so it would be nice if this company doesnt have that isssue they are a great purchase
I looking at one that is here they want 128k no trailer no gps just one motor looks sexy tho weldcraft 200-500k genesis is like the best I wish we had some boats like this in flordia :(

I imported one to the states about half the price of building once locally
I think there is a big saving, not sure on the US market but nothing in Australia is cheap, we don’t have the competition in the market.
In Australia a small 5 mtr boat with 100hp Honda is going for $90 thou. Brand new and that's imported from new Zealand
@@ibyisabeast which chineese manufacturer did you buy from? Gospel? Kinlife?
have been looking at importing a 7.9 cat and this has been very helpful, be in touch.

You in the US?
@@kleinappliancerepair7129 yes Florida
Could only imagine how easy a warranty claim would be dealing with the wufull creator
Warranty system works fine mate
Dude, your Mic levels are WAY too high FYI
Do the company make gospel boats aswell?
25k for a trailer “tell him his dreaming”
👍🙏
It hasn’t even started but who would import a boat from China? WTF?
The have been imported for a while. There are a few here in Australia now
Don’t go thinking that Chinese products are still the same quality as even 6 years ago . they are improving out of sight every year.
International standard 5083 aluminium is the same worldwide, China have rockets and satellites too
👍 *promosm*
