Should I have a survey?
It is your choice if you have a survey, but we would always recommend that you have a survey regardless of how new or old the boat is to ensure that you have made the right choice and to protect your investment. Would you buy a house without a survey?
How much will a survey cost?
This depends if you have a full survey or just a hull and stern gear survey?
A full survey can range from £400 to £600 plus the cost of getting the boat out of the water and putting it back in again. Some surveyors have a set rate and some charge by the foot.
What if the boat needs blacking?
If you are happy with the survey and the surveyor says that the hull needs blacking we can block the boat and black the hull. We do this because it will save you £100s. If we put the boat back in the water before it is blacked you would have to pay to get it out of the water again. We have modern docking facilaties which enable us to do this and saves you lots of money.
