Jeez the Fleet is in trouble, who's got that kind of money?


We've just got back one of our LS4 from Slovenia. PU + interior + €3000 of repair come up to €18000.


For those of us who speak USD... that's roughly $17K (excluding the repair component). Now, getting the ship there and back including insurance, brokers, transport to/from port etc. from the US is another $4K conservatively assuming you are on or near the east coast. Add a few thousand more if you're west of the Mississippi. We're back to somewhere in the "low $20K" levels somewhat optimistically.
