Yards/workshops that allow DIY work on your boat?
Submitted by Seahorse7 on Tue, 2020-10-27 10:43
Hello Everyone,
I've got a 5.3 mtr glass boat that I need to repair gel coat chips on the bottom, and buff and polish bottom. So I need to lift it off the trailer and do it on a lifter or up on a dolly or stands or similar. I can do the repairs myself so looking for somewhere that will allow that and I just pay them for the time in the yard or workshop ,inside or outside is ok.
Any ideas of somewhere reasonable $$ ?
Cheers.

I had my stern on two pallets
I had my stern on two pallets with tyres to make up the form and three pallets under the bow to make sure i could get it back on the trailer. It was very effective.
Getting rid of the tyres in the end was the most difficult part.
