New to us boat. needs really good cut and polish

[z1ppy]

With everything going on in the world, the only thing to do to keep me level was to buy another boat... so we did..

It arrived today and having spent the day cleaning, i have come to the conclusion that i need someone to come and do a really good job of cut and polish of topsides....

I am happy to do maintenance polishing but some of the GRP is really quite flat and i want a pro to come and bring it back to a level i can look after in the future.

Boat is afloat in Hythe and social distancing is no problem for a tradesman. power and water from the house...

any recommendations greatfully received.....

Excellent choice H, congratulations. The perfect choice for all weather zipping around the solent. Hope its the biggest engine option because you're bound to cross paths with spotty pup one day

Great pic and nice looking boat. I'm now extremely jealous of you having a mooring attached to your house!

I’d have put a wager on you getting one of those. ?

Ha Ha, very true, with so many great boats out there i need to try them all!

already had someone playing top trumps when it comes to engines and HP. just waiting to meet him at the fuel berth.

Thanks, it has its advantages but also makes it harder looking at a new toy i cant play with!! still gives me time to work out how everything works!

Nice! Axopar 28?

Formias are looking good, too. I would've thought they'd struggle with the salt air.

Good all year round boat. When the lock down is lifted you will be out like a shot . Blasting down Southampton water.
