Hello Guys Looking for ur thoughts....

Hey Guys,

Hope all is well? I'm based down in devon as a Marine technical and looking to expand into my own business etc...

I'm just looking for general responses and what is in demand for work being carried out?

Im thinking of carrying out boat polishing and transformations on tubes , hull cleaning etc is there a good demand for this along with making a better income for myself?

is there any demands that people are wanting that im unaware of? I'm just asking openingly to anyone

Also is there a product out there that protect boat skews and propellers when the boat is stationary and tilted out of the water like on a pontoon or moorings to prevent damage from barnacles or other vessels?

i'm very intrigued to see what you boaters think? I obvs have an idea with my work carrying out but of course is it viable? blah blah

Appreciate the comments

Yes indeed! Bungee strap and horse feed bucket. Available in various colours. Commonly seen on Whitestrand pontoon, Salcombe.
