Do boat manufactures make yachts differently for sale in various countries like cars?

Do boat manufactures like sunseeker or Princess make yachts differently for sale in various countries like cars? It seems like a silly question but I thought I should ask...|||It's not likely to be any different. The difference may only be in the EU Approval process when a vessel is built in a European country. Boats built here in America are commonly shipped to most European countries without any issues. However, there are differences of some sort or a lack of seeking the proper US Coast Guard Approvals since there are "Restrictions" in place for some yachts coming towards the USA. Many are labeled "Not for Sale or Charter in U.S Waters". My current motor yacht is Italian Naval Architecture and design, but is built and sold here in America.|||hell yeah|||Good question...





Actually, I don't know any that have done that in the last 40 years. Typically, production boats of the same type and purpose will be the same world wide. However, Chris-Craft once built narrow boats which were sold exclusively in the UK, but they stopped that practice when they moved from one at a time boat building - into assembly line production of their boats.





So, sorry. . . a Bayliner is still a Bayliner - even in the UK.





There are however, many boat manufacturers in many countries that do not "actively" promote or sell their boats in other countries.





Happy %26amp; Safe Boating,
