A lot will depend on the material you want, how much rubber in strakes you want, how many handles, ropes etc and who you want to fit it?

Specialist or main manufacturer.

I'd guess £5-12k all in but I'm no re-tuber. Henshaws and SIT seem to have good reputations.

going on £2k+ for a 4m SR4, I'm guessing £3k+'ish for a 6m

Really. That's good value when you think a mid range 6m without engine is what? £20k

That price did include the laser cut logos we have just done.
