You guys need to shop around. At Riverside Marina in Ft Pierce
Florida, A boat owner had his Hallberg-Rasse painted for $500. He did
the prep and paid for the awlgrip and materials. Paint job was
beautiful...prep work was marginal, but the owner loved it.

Easily double that. I believe that I had been quoted $14K in New
England.

Geoff,
Do you have an idea what that $6k paint job would have cost in Ft.
Lauderdale?

Regards, Ron

90% of the cost is labor and 90% of the labor is prep work. Not
surprising he got someone to shoot it for $500. That is only a day's
work. Also not surprising that the prep work was marginal.

Looks like you did a pretty good job. How much time did it take? How
much do you figure your time was worth? How much was the yard rent
while you did it? Not to mention the cost of sandpaper, primers
thinners, reducers rags, brushes, rollers and of course paint?

I will point out that I had great success using Stem to Stern Yacht Care in
Ft. Lauderdale. Erik Schneider, who runs the business, is the son of a
fellow cruiser. Erik is a certified marine mechanic and electrician and I
got a solid hours work for about 2/3rds of the going price. He did great
work and everyone that I know who's used his services since then feels the
same. He showed up when he said that he would, and would even call if he
was running late! WOW! Erik's number is 954-465-5780.

Note that I have absolutely no involvement with Erik other than being a
satisfied customer and would like to see him succeed. I'm a firm believer
in supporting firms that do a good job and bashing those who don't.
