Repair/Restoration Costs vs. Benefits

[blockislandguy]

Thanks for the thoughts. In an effort to keep the cost down and yet speed up the work, what about using a body shop for some of the work? Would they be less expensive yet more professional than a boat yard? Here in the Northeast bodyshops get a labor rate about half that of a boat yard and are used to cranking things out quickly. Just a thought.

BIG, Do you have a boat you're thinking of, or are you testing the waters? There are some independent glass guys in RI that are good and more reasonable than going to a boat yard per se.
