Oskar

Complete hull refurbishment of the beautiful Piper 49M, Oskar.  

When Ken and Astrid Perret approached us to undertake the work on Oskar, a beautifully kept Piper 49M Motor Class Dutch barge, we were, of course, excited at the prospect and opportunity of working on such a prestigious boat. Ken & Astrid have kept Oskar in such beautiful condition having owned her for 2 years (4th owner in 10 years!), so they were keen to ensure the work undertaken to her hull was to the highest standard. They entrusted Oskar with us for a week while taking a short holiday away. We collected Oskar from her mooring at a local marina and brought her up to Better Boating Co. for lifting out onto hardstanding and subsequent work to the hull. See below for images of Oskar in various stages through the process.

“I was delighted with the painting and maintenance work carried out on our Piper barge by Will and the team at Better Boating. Communication was excellent throughout and the attention to detail was satisfying to see. Overall I felt they took great care of our boat and I would highly recommend them.”
