Powerboat Ownership in Singapore

[tonyc]

I'm in the process of relocating from Montreal to Singapore. I'd like to have a boat over there. Could somebody please talk me through the process or point me towards a helpful website ?

I have a 20ft bayliner, which i'm thinking is probably too small for the ocean. However, would appreciate thoughts on:
- Should I import my boat or buy a new one in Singapore ?
- If importing, what licensing/taxes do I need to consider ?
- Where can I keep the boat ? Are there accessible marinas ?
- What else do I need to know about owning a boat in Singapore ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi there, just a poor graduate who drove boats once.. hehe.
Anyway, I'll point you to a useful site, since Singapore is small, this is about all you need.

And another facility to compare prices or berthing locations with
