When you say that range, do you mean 10 to 20 Kbucks? *If so, then you've

Even if you are in the US don't discount planes from Europe! The
shipping cost are relatively inexpensive and the number of glass ships
in the 7-10000 € (10-13000$) range is wide. Look at

If you buy a German registered ship it is still in conformance i.e. no
"Experimental" registration here.

Just a thought and I am sure some will balst this advice but I
