Cheapest place for a lift out and power wash in the Solent at this time of year

[oGaryo]

Going to need to have the boat lifted briefly to sort out a detached exhaust bellow and give the underside a mid season clean whilst I am at it. Will be £135 incl VAT at Hamble Point when factoring in the MDL Outlook members discount. This offers a lift out, power wash and hold in the slings for an hour. Is there anywhere else worth a looksee in the area, including the island? boat is 8.8m loa

thanks

cheap solent ????

that's about the going rate..... sealift (£115 + Vat up to 30 foot) could be an option or try chris at Gosport boatyard he may do a cheapy if you are just been held in the sling and not blocked off

I phoned sealift in Cowes to enquire about about a lift and was informed that it is closed for a refit, furthermore it is then being shipped to Brixham and is not being replaced!!

I thought it rather strange as Cowes must be one of the busiest places on the planet.

Have you tried Divers Wharf? Just up river from OV or what about Shamrock?

I would have thought that was a no brainer Gary, even if you saved £30 on that price say at gosport, then factor in fuel there and back and it just don't add up. Get it booked with mdl before they get busy.

I paid £465 at Mercury, albeit for a 40 footer. So your quote seems fantastic!

Mercury boat yard operated by hys, hence the price…!

I did wonder why they weren't offering the same mid season discounts as the other MDL marinas, now I know

How much!!!!!! Why didn't you have it lifted at Rk marine opposite it's berth , I bet Swanwick was even cheaper than hys, I cannot understand why anyone uses hys at that price. Didn't you phone around for the survey lift.

I agree with you. I always give them a call each year to see if it can save me from moving Fairways down to HPM for her lift out but the price they quote is eye watering. Amazed they stay in business.

Hi Gary

Seems like a good deal you have struck but on the off chance have you tried Swanwick as they are doing some good deals @ the moment - Speak to Natalie
