What Boats are Suitable?

Sail or power, large or small, fiberglass, wood, or steel—we've accepted them all over the years. “Project boats” are generally not financially viable. As a rule of thumb, a boat must be capable of being moved by sea or road transport and its value must substantially exceed the costs of delivery. Boats in Eastern Canada, the United States or further away are handled by S.A.L.T.S. agents; consequently, the value of the boats needs to be higher as additional costs are involved.
