Thanks guys ! What would be the cheapest way to take a prop home with me to Europe ? handluggage ? :p :p :p
I can get a prop shipped for 150 - 200€. Never brought a prop-souvenir from the US, so I'm wondering what the possibilities are.

check it in your luggage. course you'll most likely still have to pay the import tax on it. depends on your
countries requirements.

did you make it to the US yet? let us know how your visit went.

Did the same summer 2012, started in phoenix and departed from LAX.
Drove arround 3000miles! Alot to see!
I went to hillmarine, and schiada powerboats. Just put the prop in your luggage, they didnt make a problem when i did it. Did not pay any taxes either...

Hey Prosken, it turns out that schiada powerboats is very close to our last hotel... hillmarine is a but further but doable.
What's your opinion, are they worthwile visiting and can you take 'the factory tour' or so ? :)
