i reckon i need something about 40 foot long then 9 ft by 9 ft to keep the boat dry where do you guys get them

Ebay is usually quite good. Mine is 30ft by 10ft. About 6ft to the eaves, 9ft to the ridge. Any bigger and I'd imagine you're into big money.

Hi Den
£2500 is alot of spondoolies to paint that boat even if he preps it for you unless he paints the pick up the same colour for you at the same time

Damn right, I'd spray it for less than that including my flights!! It ain't hard spraying a boat, the finish is all down to the prep work.

The EON truck just bought is orange,was going to spray boat yellow and black,going to be orange and black now,stupid money to spray both.Larby lad,if you want a weeks holiday here in snowy shropshire,prep and paint the boat,soon get you a B and B booked,better make that two weeks,you might take a fancy to our alice and the ale in the Barley Mow,that helicopter bloke is taking the piss,any body else fancy spraying it, aint my bag.
