Steel hull painting in Holland.

[earlyriser1]

Can any one please recommend a boat yard, preferably in the south of Holland, to blast off and paint the underwater hull of my recently purchased 10.5 M Motor Boat.

Dont know one in South of Holland but Pedro do paint boats. Unfortunately they are in the N.east corner, near Groningen E-mail technic@pedro-boat.nl

You are spoilt for choice for good boat painters in Holland - and they understand steel too. Suggest you ask a few of the many steel boat owners in the local marina for recommendations. IMHO it would be worth taking a steel boat to Holland just for their experience in preparing before painting.

Having just seen a newish Pedro44 with extensive blistering so as an ex paint man, I wouldnt be taking my boat there!!!
Plenty of good paint applicators about, speak with Richard Jerram at International Paint in Southampton he can point you in the right direction here or abroad

I am suprised, having had 2 Pedro,s one for 10yrs and this for 6yrs,with no probs.Looked at others before purchase and thought they had the best finish.

The paint shop most often referenced too in the South of Holland (Zeeland) is Kooij Ship Operation at St. AnnaLand. No experience with them.

A British friend of mine has had a 43 ft yacht painted by the Standfast yacht warf, with the Awlgrip system (not cheap...). Still in perfect nick after Medway to New Zealand and 7 years. And they are in Breskens, you can't get more South than that in the Netherlands. Disclaimers (no connection etc..) apply.
