awlgrip a de

[FlyingConnie]

Im looking to paint my 28' de rub-rail down to water line. What's a fair price per foot to mend sinker dings, sand, prime, shoot base then a couple clear? Boat has spray rails, lifting rails and a 3" boot strip.

 

[Shor2832]

Base coat clear coat or Awlgrip? Or are you talking Awlgrip covered by awlcraft 2000 clear?

Boatyards will be upwards of 260/ft. Can find better deals.

Mike, I would see Glen Gordon. Might be difficult to get a price but he will do a good job. I will call you this weekend about a Yanmar mechanic.

Yea, 260/ft is too much, at least here in the Chesapeake. Should be closer to 175. Depends on how much prep is involved.

I was recently quoted $125 per foot for my 40', including the outside of the wheelhouse. Small yard in NC trying to stay busy in the winter.

Do you know them? I had a buddy that bought a honda outboard from them and has gotten great pricing and service.

 

[petrel]

No, I don't. I was thinking maybe you meant someone in Wanchese.

Something I forgot to mention and we all often forget to factor in is the cost of storage and haul/splash while all this is going on. Not all yards/arrangements with the painter are the same so be sure to ask. It can be hard to arrange to haul and take the boat directly into the prep area or spray booth so if it is being done indoors so there can be a haul, block and wait storage fee, lift and move to the booth and block fee, prep/spray storage time fee, lift and splash fee, it can all add up quickly if this is the process.

I was working myself up to paint my topsides in my shed but I think I will let a pro do it. Have heard that there is a yard somewhere in CT that will store your boat for the winter if you commit to a paint job- any truth to this that anyone has heard?

Hope they are good painters too....

 

[Shor2832]

where is the boat located? I have a shop in Portsmouth, and offer competitive pricing. There is a local company I work with that moves boats up the hill to me on the cheap.

 

[Shor2832]

Toolate, I would be able to refinish your boat. I can offer outside storage on stands afterwards. I am located in portsmouth, ri.
