    What can I say? So professional! The Fiberglass King did an awesome job of making it look as if it had always been there!
    As always, a really interesting video and one that can give others the confidence to make the same addition to their boat. 😄

    How much does something like this cost to do?

      Hi, thanks for your question. The biggest cost here was the bow thruster unit itself. Brand new, the size that I used will retail at between £800 to £900 - I was able to get a great bargain on a used unit for less than £200. The additional equipment such as the battery, cables, and the fibreglass tube came in at another £200 approximately. The work took approximately 20 hours total to complete - also factor in the cost of having the boat lifted out the water as well.
      If I had paid for this to be done by a marine engineering company/boat yard, it would easily have cost £2000-£2500 to complete.
      I hope that helps
