Default Re: Re-Gel my 18'6??

If you have someone else remove the bottom paint and re gel coat it with you doing the sanding and buffing of the gel coat will probably cost you approx $1,000 to $1,500 or so. If you do it yourself the pressure cleaning machine with hopper for materials, you will need approx 400 lbs of sand or soda about $150 ,then you need to have some one at a boat yard to put it up on boat chocks and move it a few times another $150 for the space and the lift, then you will need 1 gal of gel coat plus roller and other stuff. Another $150-$200 or so, then you need to sand and buff and wax. My guess 5 days of hard work and about four 6 packs of Bud I had some one do it for me cost $1,200 the rest of the boat I did myself I ran out of time before my vacation reservation plus I hate working upside down and this job was truly worth someone else to do it for me for the extra $700 and 5 less days for work.
