If the boat is not registered under BVI flag, the motor goes transit to the
boat and there are no taxes to be paid,.... I think...

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPS you think WRONG take anything into the BVI's
and you are liable for taxes - i was not joking when i said they are as bad as
if not worse than the British Chancellor of the Exchequer - he just yesterday
stuck the first knife into the goose that lays the golden egg over here - at
a stroke he doubled taxes on oil extraction in the North Sea.
Whatever you do don't take the BVI customs for fools - i am not really
saying you should be naughty and do anything illegal in a public forum like this
either - but use your head and keep your mouth shut too.
IF you are an American the tax free way into the BVI's is Via St Thomas or
St Croix - understand what i am saying here ;-)
regards
David
