Boat storage down South - Page 2

Tim M · 13 October 2005, 22:47

I quite fancy keeping it with Ken Brown now. Whilst he he a bit more pricey then the rest he is only a 10 minute walk from where I am living. He also has the advantage of putting the boat in/taking it out of the water every time I want to use it so I woulnd't have to use my car and I wouldn't have to drive miles everytime I want to go out. I'm going to have another chat with him tomorrow to get a few more final details but would anyone happen to know if the price I have been quoted is likly to include storage of my trailer as well (I am assuming the boat will be on a rack rather then kept on it's trailer).

when i spoke with him he was looking at putting the prices up and he offered me pricing pre price rise, i would negotiate if you can, however your dissadvantage is you live so near so are more likely to use him

i can share pre price increase prices if it helps

he was a really nice chap so couldnt fault him

Can you PM me his "pre" price per meter?

I was intending on giving him the old "I'm a poor lowly student shpeel"

If you can afford to even consider keeping a boat with him, that wont wash!

Last time I checked, trailers were not included.

We shall see

Hugh Jardon · 13 October 2005, 23:12

just had a good look everywhere and cant find the envelope he gave me but i will drop you a pm anyway......i never throw stuff out so it must be here somewhere, playing golf all day tomorrow but will have a look at the weekend for you if its not to late then

i think i pay about £400 for membership, 22ft boat and car pass/launch for year at calshot. Usually the waiting list seems to disapear when u register i was told i had to wait 2 years, when i actually got it in 6 weeks. I do know one person who just left his boat there and then eventually they let him stay!!

if ur interested register for waiting list anyway

Tim M · 14 October 2005, 13:51

I've spent the morning phoning places as far as 25 miles away. All but one have a waiting list. The one that didn't was a caravan storage place and said he woulnd't be interested in having my RIB as I want to use it over the winter rather than just store it.

Disapointing

Tim M · 14 October 2005, 14:11

Extremly please: bloke from Colshot just calld me back and has a space. Very competativly priced too.

Tim

What is the deal at Calshot?

Rich

Hugh Jardon · 16 October 2005, 13:18

glad calshot worked out good for you, much cheaper than the stow and throw places.

will probably see you down there from time to time, my friends boat there is the mcgreggor 26 on the right as soon as you enter the compound

have fun

Tim M · 16 October 2005, 15:37

Calshot are charing me £110 from today until the end of March. This includes storage, free parking, use of 3 slipways, hose for cleaning/flushing etc, changing rooms/showers/loos. There's also a bar and cafe on site which could be useful!

Tim M · 16 October 2005, 15:40

Also, would anyone happen to know whether the Morrisons on the road to Calshot has a petrol station?

timboli · 16 October 2005, 20:18

If you mean the Morrisons at totton/ashurst bridge just before the stretch of dual carriageway then yes it does.
