Best advice has already been given, and that is to visit some boatyards

Unless you're comparing it to the labor cost, then it's pretty
reasonable.

That's exactly right. There are very few boat yards that will allow
you to do your own bottom painting these days because of environmental
regs. When the yard is doing the work, paint is the cheapest part of
the job.


Absolutely correct.

Incidentally, I appreciate your efforts to keep this newsgroup at least
semi on track, but it looks as if there's yet another ID spoofer who has
gone active, and there's nothing that can be done about it. I really
don't have the time to spend more than a few minutes a day "here," and
that means I don't have the time to shovel through the posts of the
ever-changing fake IDerss, the ID spoofers, and the just plain nasties.
The only thing being accomplished is hastening the demise of rec.boats.
Maybe that is their goal.


Hell, Paul, I trashed rec.boats years ago.

What happened years ago gives you license to act like a pussy today?

Years ago, I challenged a poster to find and post my personal
information. He did. Then my wife started getting telephone calls about
me. It got so bad I had to call the FBI in. Since then I have been
banished to the basement. I have guns.
