Few questions

[Stuey]

Starter for 10 -

Who is the recommended insurer for a boat to be kept in the RQ?

Where can I do the RYA Level 2 powerboat course round here?

Can anyone recommend a suitable person to deliver a boat from down south to the RQ? What sort of cost would I be looking at - is there a price per mile sort of calculation?

Where can I find out about doing the radio handling course that I would need for use in a small boat?

regards

Stu

don't think there is a recomended insure for the RQ, just go for the cheapest quote

for both the powerboat course and the vhf, or try the marine and tech in south shields

how big's the boat?? is a trailer job or a low loader?

I've seen a pound a mile quoted somewhere. If its trailerable, can you not fetch it your self??

cheers mark, didn't realise that deep vee did the course.

As to the boat, it will be a 20ft+ quicksilver/arvor and probably wont come with a trailer so was wondering if the cost for delivery was better than buying a trailer.

been doing a bit research myself .
this link has a bit info that may give you a rough idea .

you could always try and negotiate delivery as part of any deal ?

I'm sure Essexboatyards wanted £1500 to deliver John's Leeward

He ended up buying a trailer and collecting it.

Stuey,
A friend had a boat trailed up from southampton and they quoted over 3k so he bought a trailer. It suits boats up to 34ft but you would need a serious motor to pull it.

If you want I can ring him see if he still has it.

Cheers
Dave

as far as insurance is concerned , ive tried 3 or 4 so far and these were the cheapest by a mile .

www.craftinsure.com is another one to try.

£3k to deliver a boat, think I'm in the wrong line of work!! Got use of a Navara so think that would be ample for towing with, though not to keen on the thought of a long journey including motorways towing a 20ft boat.

Cost me 300 quid to get my arvor 20 up from Essex that was half price in with the deal.
