Hull bottom cleaning

[amongoose]

its more of a yatch club than a marina, so wo dont actualy have dock space and if there were an electrical problem all the kids swimming would have found out about it by now, sewage isnt a problem, no one stays on the boats in the harbor.

33' at 4.00 a foot is a real nice piece of change for about a half hour job,wheres the boat?! Im all in !!

build a wand for the pressure washer, so that water shoots out both ends that will hold you in place (simple) thats what we do offshore!!!

I use a pressure washer and srub brushes, I'm at Lake Powell, Ut so its fresh water I always have a buddy with me. We get $ 600 for a 75 ft house it takes 3 1/2 hrs to do.

Hi, I work at a marina and just got certified in scuba a few months ago and was wondering if anyone has any basic information about starting a hull clean buisness. Like how much do you charge per foot, do you work alone, how much work do you get, and such? If anyone could give me some tips that would be great, thanks.

In this state (WA) in-water hull cleaning is increasingly regulated, mostly for the "soft" paints. It cause major water quality violations (for the massive copper releases) and all that copper settles out contaminating the harbor sediments worse than they started out. Might want to look into those rules wherever you are...
