Do you offer boat surveys? Also, can you give an estimate on how much antifouling a 25 ft to 9 ft fibreglass cabin cruiser would be?
Further, also changing a sofa space into a desk and shelf space?
Hi Alice,
I am afraid we do not do surveys.
depending on how bad the existing anti foul is, and how much work is required to scrape off the loose stuff, we can estimate 12 hours @ £29.00 per hour plus VAT
However, you would have to book the boat in to Bristol Marina, as we have no facilities apart from theirs to lift boats.
without seeing the sofa space, cannot offer an opinion or price.
