Do it yourself and save a fortune.
Unless you are messing with injectors the engine service is really nothing more than an oil and filter change with a check of the belts and replace if neccesary. Shocking what you can get charged for that /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
If it is year 1 on the legs then anode change and oil change well within DIY capability (make sure you have a new seal kit for the plugs on the legs). If it is bellows replacement then I would pay someone who knows how - not worth the risk of messing up (although I do think it can't be that hard).
Anti-foul is definatley a DIY job - use Cruiser Uno at around £65-£70 per tin (one should do) and all that is needed is some masking tape and a small roller & tray

Talking about servicing and bellows replacement.
Anyone know the recommended replacement intervals for Bravo III bellows replacement ?
I can't find the information anywhere.

Some say bellows each season, if it's in the water all the time, that's feasible. I do bellows every two years.

Every two years for bellows is fine - in reality they will probably last twice that but some things aren't worth taking a risk on

KAD 43s Service £447 each
Outdrives £183 each.
Last year I got the yard to antifoul it and I think it was about £400.
Did the AF myself this year paint was £70 for 2.5 litres. The guide said I needed 5.75 litres so I duly bought 2 x 2.5 and 1 x 750ml.
I wasn't until I opened the 750ml tin I noticed it was 31 quid! I wish I'd bought 3 x 2.5 litre and I'd have used it up on an extra coat.
