£162 for a lift and hold for 30 minutes over lunch. Anybody beat that?

[longjohnsilver]

Now I'm confused again, is that cheap or expensive for the Solent? Now for us bums in the Westcountry that would represent a full seasons boating budget! /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif

Ancient ceremony of the flying boat.

Well is this a regular event, scuse me gov could you lift my boat over half your lunch hour, just like to see how she looks out of the water, or, bet that feeble crane couldn't lift a boat as heavy as mine.

Or, I just happen to have a few hundred quid in my wallet that's burning a hole, what can I spend it on? Come on, give us a clue. Is it a yachtmaster mason type ceremony, I'll show you mine if you'll show me yours. Strange place is the Solent.

Now what you really needed was a diver, but there's never one around when you need him.

Last time I had Yanita in a sling paid €45 (approx £30) in Ostend. That included use of the high pressure hose.

Was well worth crossing the Channel for. The fact that booze was a LOT cheaper (General Stores) had nothing to do with it.

Re: Ancient ceremony of the flying boat.

You can keep your sexual perversions, we know your type wot with Parahandy diving down, and an octogenerian at that. Best go and talk to yer mate Micky in Neverland, he'd make a real ape of you.

Re: Ancient ceremony of the flying boat.

Disgraceful. Pushing a pensioner over the stern and holding him under water until he finds the problem is just not done in this day and age. You'd have made a very good robber baron in another era.

[Paddy_OReally]

that seems rather expensive. i had my little boat lifted to have a look at the keels, which i decided against altering. the chap cmae along with his crane thing and it cost me €50 and a pint in the yacht club bar.
all i can say is that the people you used saw you coming because you must have a glass apendage.

Re: Right

will yer stop yer moaning woman. when you go an earn the money then you can moan about what its spent on. anyhow with yer constant moaning and brow beating is it any wonder that i spend time down at the club instead of eating mince'n'tatties with you.
i only married you because i thought you were hip and with it. it now transpires that what i thought was your bumbags was actually yer bra. anyhow the kind man parahandy has said he'd like to have you on his boat. can't see what difference a boat makes. i've been trying for years with a plain bed and got nowhere.

In an attempt to be serious .....

....... as we are talking about a considerable cost, wouldn't it be better to lift out and stay out until its sorted? Then you can do all necessary maintenance on the rudder with less time constraint, and do other jobs too eg antifoul, anodes etc.

Only IMHO of course.

Let me know if you need a hand sometime - but I wouldn't want to submerge myself in S'oton Water or any part thereof !!
