What we charge depends on the boat and the amount of overall work that needs to be completed. $200 a foot is for the hull sides, filling small holes and scratches. Sanding the entire boat, priming sanding to a 220 finish and spraying 3 coats of paint. What is acheived is a finish that has little orange peel with a high luster that to date has stood up for at least 7 years with washes and awlcare being the only variable. The estimate of $500 a foot for the entire boat is actually about correct. What we spent on my 23 was 250 man hours of glasswork, fairing, priming, filling, re-priming, fairing again and painting. Remember 90% of the work is in the prep, pulling the trigger is easy part.
