best and cheapest, peel and bottom job

shanembruce · #1 (**permalink**) 10-13-2010

heard there was a place on the east coast near or on lake ochechobee that could peel from stem to stern, re-gelcoat and paint for $2,000.00...

any suggestions or names of the places?

$200-300/foot is more like it I'm afraid.

For what size boat... in most places, that will cover a dinghy and not much more...

have you tried American Custom Yachts?

best & cheapest don't really mix do they, but the closest may be to DIY

Maybe this will help? http://www.sailnet.com/forums/322678-post.html

As I recall when I inquired before the Great Recession, they did this kind of work at a reasonable price, but reasonable was $100-$!50 per linear foot. If you can get it done cheaper, don't. You'll surely be sorry.
