Hi Bruce
Yes she will be going into a container. I am using a specialised boat transport company so should be all good

Will they have to rotate her sideways to fit in the container? Since they are specialized in shipping boats I am sure they know to drain the fluids and remove the battery(s) before rotating.

Yes Yamaha outboards and jet ski's are big sellers here but they don't sell Yamaha boats which is why I am importing it. Cost wise it will still be cheaper than buying a similar sized bowrider of the same age. Jet boats aren't big sellers down here so I can understand why Yamaha don't bring them in but I think they will suit the water ways where I live very well

I will be extremely jealous when you are boating around the Gold and Sunshine Coasts!

Thanks everyone.
The watersways around the gold coast are great but need major dredging works, Jet ski sales are huge here and I think we have more boat owners than any other part of Australia.
I will post photos as soon as the boat hits the water here

Good luck @Jet downunder! I wouldn't be able to sleep until I saw her get unloaded.
