Alan de Enfield Posted December 9, 2018 Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 Expensive for 'up-North' About right for the 'Midlands' Very cheap for 'Down South' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditchcrawler Posted December 9, 2018 Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 Does it include putting you back in again? I guess it wouldn't cost much more to stay out for a week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it wouldn't cost much more to stay out for a week Well I was thinking £100 to drag it out, £100 to put it back in, and £100 a week for hard standing would be a typical midlands price.

Mad Harold Posted December 9, 2018 Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 2 minutes ago, ditchcrawler said: Does it include putting you back in again? I guess it wouldn't cost much more to stay out for a week My last dry docking was £170 first day,and £45 per day thereafter. They would only let you book three days,because they needed the dry dock for other work. I would expect to pay less for a lift out/in and hard standing.

Ex Brummie Posted December 9, 2018 Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 Just been craned out for survey/blacking. £350 was for craning out and back. No charge for time on bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtB Posted December 9, 2018 Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 As others have said, we need more information. Is it going on the hard standing or will it be blocking up a working dry dock preventing paid-for work being done? Is it north, midlands, south or London?

BWM Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 It depends on many factors mentioned above but some yards hire in a crane and these tend to be more expensive. I noticed your forum name is Kingswood, any connection to the area? Only asking as the dry dock above Hatton is very reasonable and you may end up paying not a lot more for them to do the blacking/docking as a package.

Neil T Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 ‘Down south’ in Uxbridge dry dock for a week in a friendly boatyard is £300. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingswood Posted December 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 no its on the river soar and i believe boats are just pulled out on a dolly it is undercover so i dont know if that makes a difference to price, another marina near by charges a lot less but its not under cover and is only for two days unless booked for a bank holiday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrybsmith Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 I would have thought Redhill would be the cheapest on the Soar. Sounds about right price wise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are having work done its worth getting them to pressure wash the hull as they have a good high pressure washer. Its not the time of year to be doing blacking even if its under cover - it would be OK in a heated dry dock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WotEver Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 1 hour ago, kingswood said: its not under cover and is only for two days unless booked for a bank holiday So it’s not for blacking to be carried out then I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rory_d Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 I think that’s reasonable considering I’ve got to pay just over £300 to get craned back in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
