paint project
i just did my 1988 23" walkaround over new paint new tank raise the transom to 30" from 25" and im having a pissing match with the the guy that painted it he is trying to tell me he spent 135hrs at 50$ per hr getting the inside just the inside sanded and painted so im a little curious if u can let me know if my guy is a little out of wack .....the inside was not perfect but in my opinion no way did he work approx 17days just on the inside of my boat not including the new transom that he put on that was a seperate price.....if u dont want to post can u send me a private email thanks. oh and no work was done inside the cabin this was just prep and paint plus materials in addition to the 50$ per hr .....someone else was putting the boat back together.....the gentleman that was doing the boat gave me a price to paint the outside of 100$ per foot which was fine and $2300 to do the transom which was reasonable and fair however my prblm was with the inside of the boat no way did he spend 17 days on the inside of the boat preping and painting i say that this is totally out of line please respond with any advice you can give me or if you think that this may be a reasonable amount of time.

Re: paint project
What your asking us is a pretty loaded question.
We have no "detailed" pix's to see how bad it was before the work was started. There is a lot of square footage to cover on the inside.

Re: paint project
Re doing a boat can be a very time consuming job. For me to due my entire boat took 150 days of work before I splashed it and I know I must have put in another 20 days more since then on little trick stuff. The most tedious part was fairing, sanding, prepping and painting. On my boat I rolled and tipped it thus I hade to sand the entire boat between coats of paint. I was quoted in the $6,000 bracket to have a pro paint my entire boat after I had done most of the prep work myself.

He saw you coming, Thats why the Rolex comes off when I
go to get an estimate on anything. Try to negotiate, it will be cheaper then litigation.  See ya, Ken
